Mitch B. recently returned from Argentina where he spent some time at Pinti's Dorado on the Fly chasing golden dorado on the upper Parana River. He had these kind words to say about the booking process and the operation:Ā
Did you find the trip booking process through Yellow Dog enjoyable and useful? If not, please share why.
- Very useful & made for an easier preparation for the trip.
Were the Yellow Dog pre-trip planning packet(s) and travel itinerary you received for your trip helpful and accurate? If not, how could it be improved?
-Ā Outstanding!
Did the lodging (rooms, dining area, social area, etc) match what you were expecting? If not, please provide additional comments or constructive feedback.
-Ā Didn't really have a level of expectation. I'm an easy going kind of fisherman/hunter as long as the company is good, and great fishing/hunting just makes for an extra level of appreciation of being part of the trip!
Did the food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) match what you were expecting? If not, please provide additional comments or constructive feedback.
-Ā Just a bit worried about my current diet (being allergic to all red meats from a damn tick bite) but the information was accurately conveyed prior to arrival - it was great! And a huge thanks to the Yellow Dog team for ensuring the information was relayed accurately.
Do you have any comments or constructive feedback based on the service, friendliness, etc of the lodge staff?
-Ā The guides are incredible fisherman & guides. Chefs were awesome & House cleaning folks were top notch!
Were you pleased with your guide(s) customer service, communication skills, professionalism, work ethic, and general fishing knowledge? If not, please share why.
- The entire crew are 1st class!
What key piece(s) of gear, tackle, flies, soft goods, etc. made your trip successful?
-Ā Correct fly rod & lines & a few flys purchased thru the Yellow Dog fly shop. The locally tied flys that were available at the lodge were a big part of the success rate also.
What piece(s) of equipment would you not leave home without for this trip?
-Ā 8 & 9 fly rods, raingear & hot weather clothing.
Would you return to this destination? Please share why or why not.
-Ā Absolutely! The guides are a big part of the success {catching big fish} & also great at keeping everyone's attitude in check & chins high during the slow fishing times!
