Having fished 2 days thus far on the Argentinean side of Parana, Peto suggested we go fish the other side i.e. Paraguay side for a change.

Peto drove the boat north, to the Paraguayan border control on the right bank, where you can purchase a day fishing license.

Not sure if I ever mange to come fish here again - Argentine will become an even distant destination once I repatriate to Japan.

Knowing I will have a life time to think back, I bid farewell to the sun setting on Parana.

Though only 3 days, it was a good, eventful time - especially with an old friend Peto. And I was fortunate to admire some magnificent fish, a true fighter, Tigre de rio.

The scenery on the Paraguay side is in fact not very different. But it was good to go around checking Peto's favourite places spending the last half a day.

There are not big traffic at this 'border', except odd locals going shopping to Paraguay, where prices are much cheaper.

Even in this seemingly peaceful canal, Dorados do round up baitfish creating occasional explosion here and there.

Though Dorado loves warm water, their feeding activity drops when the water warms up beyond 30degrees. Especially when the sun is strong, accuracy in casting plays an important role, to deliver the fly far into the covers and shades.

Day 3 - my last day in Parana.

The cloud cover od the previous afternoon had disappeared, and it was going to be another hot day.
