Marcelo Pérez is the founder and CEO of Untamed Angling. An architect and passionate angler, Marcelo grew up in Argentina, where he fine tuned his fly fishing skills and gravitated toward the illustrious golden dorado. This fascination would eventually lead him to open a number of wilderness fishing operations that are modelled around teaming up on a 50/50 partnership with indigenous jungle tribes. 

In this episode of Anchored, we discuss Untamed Angling’s successes and challenges, the behaviour of golden dorado, what it’s like fishing in the jungle, and more.
