Jaguars, Tapirs, and Golden Dorado in Bolivia with Marcelo Perez

Our destination is the remote Tsimane region of Bolivia in pursuit of the savage and powerful Golden Dorado with Marcelo Perez, founder, and CEO of Untamed Angler and the Tsimane Lodge.   The Tsimane region sits at the base of the Andes mountains, hundreds of miles from civilization, where mountain streams run clear and fast, and fly anglers can sight-cast for voracious Dorado reaching upwards of 40 lbs.   

Marcelo grew up in Argentina fishing the jungles for Dorado and found his passion in building remote jungle fly fishing lodges.  Join us as Marcelo explains why Dorado should be on every fly angler's bucket list and the incredible story of how he created the Tsimane Lodge.  Also, stories of the native Tsimane people, giant Pacu, and hundred-pound Maturo on the fly.  Could this be the best Dorado fishing on the planet?  You be the judge!
