Negro River - Peacock Bass

Fishing for big Peacock Bass in the heart of the majestic Amazon rain forest - 6 days full fishing days.

LOCATION & DESCRIPTION
Negro River - We will navigate this enormous River aboard our Hotel boat visiting numerous lakes, lagoons, and creeks, home for large numbers of this brave tropical game fish, admired as number one target for the visiting sport fisherman. From May thru October, considered high water season, when large parts of the forest get flooded, the fish will be hunting and hiding in surrounding vegetation making it hard to catch him. As from November the water will go down, forcing the fish out of the vegetation, offering proper conditions for the angler.




Untouched nature also offers breathtaking scenery only found in tropical rain forest environment, entertaining the angler while making a dreams trip come true.
Our adventure starts in Manaus/Amazonas, where daily flights to the fishing location are available.

FISHING CONDITIONS & TIPS

Fishing will be done out of 06 mt. Aluminum fishing boats (02 anglers per boat), complete with outboard engines, trolling motors, cooler with beverage, snacks.

As for recommending equipment; although the possibility of catching a 20 lbs up Peacock Bass is real, you’ll be more likely catching fish up to 16 lbs., we recommend the use of 17 to 25 lbs. casting rods with up to 50 lbs. multifilament lines for Peacock fishing, when fly fishing is preferred, your equipment should be at least # 8. For big catfish however, really heavy salt water type equipment is required.

These recommendations are based on experience, space and playing conditions, not to be taken as a rule.
