In our recent trip, given the impossibility of making notes of fisheries repayment in Corrientes, we take to visit the Fisheries Complex "Piracuacito" found in the port namesake, in the town of El Rabón, on the route Nac No. 11, also visited the Complex "Piracuá" by the same owners, also located in the port of the same name (Port Piracuá) the name piracuá in Guarani language means cave fish pyre = fish, four = cave, the latter is complex the city of Florence, but at this point could not be reached by land.

Piracuacito is about 20 km from the route 11, is lowered through the village of El Rabón and a dirt road in good condition leads to the complex construction is recent (March 2008), and has all the amenities that we need fishermen, the place is totally wild, no electricity and only at night there are cellular signal, but Armando and Marcelo (owners) have a telephone line, generators, air conditioning digital TV, and so on., so the complex is a comfortable first, the rooms are spacious, the bathroom too, all windows have mosquito nets, and in the dining room there is a great grill for internal roasts.

We arrived in Florence and we were received by Marcelo Rouvier and his son Alexis, we made the purchases and left for Piracuacito, where we met with Armando Garcia, a friend of many years and very well-known journalist fishing, we installed, turned on air conditioners and we gathered in the dining room chatting for a while while the roast was done, we took account of matambre on the grill, we plan to exit the next day's fishing and we went to sleep.

We left the window of the hut open, and at dawn we were awakened by birds and monkeys Geez, look out the window and saw the sun and despuntaba as reflected in Parana, really beautiful, breakfast and we embarked on a Trucker of 6.20 meters in length with a 40-hp engine, Alex as a guide for Armando fisheries and Patricia and I fished.

Unfortunately there was no good bait, it was impossible to get brown or shad, and shad fishermen who had not worked the previous days, so we had to fix it with some cascarudos eels and, to top it we could not move from the middle of the river, as are water Corrientes Corrientes and does not allow the fishing season in return, in Santa Fe is off limits to fishing and gold Surubí, but fishing is allowed in return for not stopping the influx of tourists, however Arturo Colombi suspended all fishing for tourism 40 days in the province of Corrientes.

We started doing fishing "to the coup," which is bait-cast (throwing bait) with live bait, lanzábamos the bait against the shore where they were eating the golden, wind from the northeast coast punished against Santa Fe and threw us against the shore, should correct the drift continuously, even then we had a number of pique, in my case I had a pique of Surubí, fought for a while until arrimarlo to the boat and when I was a couple of meters opened his mouth and let the eel, the eel is no doubt its bite, if they had been swallowed by the brunette moved, Patricia Peak had a pair of golden, but as embodied with cascarudo gold mordía down the barbed, so I was unable to realize, after noon we returned to the complex, came to realize of Milan with a spectacular salad, a beer and sleep an hour's nap.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon we returned to the river, the wind had calmed down, we went to the Complex Piracuá by water to see if we produced some shad but there was no case, we chatted a while with the boys of the complex and try again Fishing, in a sector saw a large school of shad and attacking golds, but the eels fling "pirayú" were on something else, did not want eel, a shame to see them and not take the bait indicated.

We continue trying to time we had another pique of gold to us was next to the boat, certainly was not our day of fishing, so I went to the sun, we went to bed early and complex to leave at dawn the next day.

Half-day fishing add to our stay, so just after the sun and we were having breakfast, and the little bit because we were with the lines in the water, this opportunity came out in two boats, Marcelo, Alex, and Patricia and Armando in a I guide and Hugo in another blow to throw in some nice sliding catch and Patricia completed its first gold, punched in the mood gave good fight and end posed for pictures, a nice golden about six kilos, we returned to make the last slide and I had a pique failed, the other boat was a bit remote, and Alex also captured a gold, with this we closed the fishery.

I am sure that if we had taken had sabalo brunette or captured many pieces, but we spent two days spectacular, they are in the middle of the jungle with the comforts of the city is something not very common, try to visit this place that are going to live an experience unforgettable.

 After lunch we left for Bragado, at sunset we were very tired and we decided to spend the night in the huts Carcaraes in Oliveros, on the Route 11, our friend Diego Fantino, to get us where we find that the monastery retreat There is a spectacular hotel field, extending the Carcaraes Complex, is really an important endeavor, 25 You have to plant trees and a very comfortable, we spent a good night's sleep in the morning and continue heading for home.
