Bolivia was my most recent conquest and one that I would like to share a few pics with you from. This time it was golden Dorado on the cards, from a lodge in its inaugural season set in the Bolivian jungle, wedged between the Andes and the rainforest. I have written a rather long winded report from the trip (6500 words to be exact!) that I am more than willing to share, but it may scare a lot of people off so will stick to the photos first and gauge the response to report from there. The report does cover a lot about the Dorado as a species, which many may find of interest, but, again, will leave it as a photo journey for now unless there’s call for the article.


The plane that took us to the lodge, some 400 miles from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Along with a shot from the air.





The natives that lived alongside the airstrips, many of which helped out in camp and with the guiding.













The rivers fished and some general fishing shots.

I bought an underwater housing back in the summer (http://www.camerasunderwater.co.uk/e.../housings.html), which I played around with one day, the water was too coloured though, unfortunately.






Feeding dorado



The flies used took some 20 minutes each to tie. They were tied with nylon and secured throughout with superglue. This is what they looked like after tussling with a Dorado.
