A thermal-spa town in Entre Ríos on the Salto Grande lake, beside the Uruguay River, that combines fishing, hot springs and beaches. Dorado, surubí, boga and yellow catfish in wide waters.
You fish from a boat and from shore: the dorado on spinning in the warm season, the boga and catfish on the bottom for much of the year. Federación adds the appeal of its thermal park and riverfront, which makes it comfortable for a family trip. Respect the Entre Ríos dorado closure.

How the fish were biting depends on the day: the river level, the season, plain luck. Scoring that with stars would be averaging the weather — one bad day would sink a spot that is excellent in season.
That is why fishing is told in the report, which carries a date and helps whoever comes next week. The stars score what does not change: access, facilities, the fishing stand and cleanliness.
