Created by the argentine tier Carlos Ingrassia, this pattern is unarguably the number one chooses in your fly box when you pursue a dorado wherever. The muddler head creates a particular turbulence that turns on a perfect trigger for a predator. It was originally tied with feathers tail but recently it’s also made with good results on synthetic materials.
Recommended hooks: Tiemco 600 SP #4/0, Owner Aki 5170 #5/0 or 6/0, Gamakatsu Sl12 S #4/0 or SC 15 2H 3/0 and 4/0.
We use these patterns when spot pacu rising on pools with hanging branches with fruits and flowers. The technic is a little tricky as you have to make a high cast to imitate the “plop” of a fruit falling in the water, and let the fly sink without moving it at all.
Recommended hooks: Owner Aki twist 5169 3/0 and Sasame Chinu 5/0, both in black color.
We use these patterns more in the crystal clear headwaters where is more important the presentation and the shape of the fly. Here we can use clear and even white colors with real chances to catch a big resident dorado.
Recommended hooks: Tiemco 600 SP #4/0, Owner Aki 5170 #5/0 or 6/0, Gamakatsu Sl12 S #4/0 or SC 15 2H 3/0 and 4/0.
Recently used at Tsimane, this worldwide predator pattern created by Blane Chocklett is very effective both in headwaters and lower areas, especially when we do dead drifts in strong currents.
Recommended hooks: Gamakatsu Sl12 S #4/0
The jungle offers a varied menu of insects that are a good food resource for the omnivorous fish like the pacu and the yatorana, but sometimes it also can be a trigger for dorado too. Our guides have developed a sophisticated technic to pursue big dorado on dries.
Recommended hooks: Tiemco 600 SP #2/0, Owner Aki 5170 #3/0 Gamakatsu Sl12 S #2/0 or SC 15 2H 1/0 and 2/0
Very effective in the lower sections with sand bars and sunk log’s structure, specially during feeding frenzies, or in the first part of the season when tons of sabalo are arriving to Tsimane and dorado feed on them consistently.
Recommended hooks: Tiemco 600 SP #4/0, Owner Aki 5170 #5/0 or 6/0, Gamakatsu Sl12 S #4/0 or SC 15 2H 3/0 and 4/0.
