Peto Dalle Norgare is a friend from Argentina who just happens to be one of the best fly fishing and light tackle golden dorado fishing guides in Northern Argentina. As I was sitting working in the office yesterday thinking about fishing Peto sent me an email with this monster golden dorado that he had just landed for one of his clients. He said the Lateral Line hat brought them luck, nice going man! He said that they caught three of them in the area about this size. When I asked him what area that was, he replied it was the same area that my friend Tom caught a 24+pounder on a top water fly when we were down fishing with Peto earlier this year. The Rio Parana is a spectacular golden dorado fishery, if you have not been there, you should put it on the list of places to go. If you would like to get in touch with Peto to arrange some fishing you can reach him at: petodn@hotmail.com

Great dorado Peto! Thanks for the picture and keep wearing that Lateral Line hat, it is definitely lucky.
