5 Anglers Land 9 Peacock Bass Over 20 Pounds

5 Anglers Land 9 Peacock Bass Over 20 Pounds
 in 6 ½ Days of Fishing!
October 13 – 20, 2018!

​5 anglers (2 of them fly fishermen) boated 9 Peacocks weighing over 20 lbs in 6 ½ days of fishing last week on River Plate’s exclusive fishery on the upper Uneuixi River in Brazil’s Amazon.  This fishery has been touted by the Amazon guides as the best fishery in the upper Rio Negro watershed and that is proving to be true!  River Plate’s concept of “fly-in” fishing on remote stretches of backwater tributaries with small groups of a max of 8 fishermen per week is again proving to offer the best fishing for BIG Peacock Bass in South America!  Brazil’s Amazon has been known for the last 30 yrs for producing the biggest Peacocks in the world, but the heavy traffic of 50+ yachts and river boats, handling up to 30 angler each per week operating out of Barcelos and Ste Isabel on the main river channels of the Rio Negro, has greatly diluted the number of 15+ lb Peacocks caught by anglers.  Much like the fishing in Alaska evolved years ago, the new norm for catching big fish in Brazil’s Amazon is the remote “fly-in” fishing trips offered by River Plate and its associates!
