River Plate Anglers, the oldest outfitter offering Peacock Bass fishing trips to the traveling sportsman in the Amazon since 1992, pioneered the concept of fly-in fishing with our upscale floating Safari Camps, located in all 4 of the Amazon’s distinct Dry Zones from mid-July through early March.  River Plate has paid the Indian tribes from which they lease these lands well over a million dollars in financial compensation as well as generators, satellite communication equipment and computers to allow them to participate in the 21st century world of the internet.  In return the indigenous people have restricted other commercial and sport fishing outfitters allowed to fish in their lands which has allowed River Plate to manage the fishing pressures & greatly enhance the numbers and size of the Peacock Bass on these restricted waters.
     This strict management means our small groups of 6 – 12 anglers in a Safari Camp can each expect to boat 20 – 40 Peacock Bass per day while not seeing another bass boat in a days fishing and experience Peacock Bass fishing the way we did in the 1990’s.  Lodging is provided in air-conditioned 250 sq ft mobile, floating cabins with private bathrooms and showers featuring a Queen bed in our single occupancy cabins or two single beds in our double occupancy cabins.  Daily maid and laundry service are provided as well as excellent meals by our onsite Chef complemented with wine and adult beverages.  Fishing is conducted with 2 anglers and a Brazilian guide fishing from fully equipped 21 ft custom bass boats with TFO bait casting, spinning and fly rods, Shimano rods and all terminal tackle, INCLUDING LURES & FLIES.   Trip prices range from $4,550.00 to $5,950.00 per person with both our standard trip which offers 6 ½ days of fishing and a short trip offering 4 ½ days of fishing.
     We still have a limited number of spots available for the 2017–2018 fishing season and are taking reservations for the 2018-2019 fishing season at this time.  Contact us now for the Amazon’s true remote Peacock Bass fishing adventure you have always had on “your bucket list.”

Jim Kern’s Emu Outfitting Company in conjunction with River Plate Anglers has made short 4 ½ and even 3 ½ day Peacock Bass fishing trips productive and suddenly very “doable.” We have accomplished this by flying you directly into your remote floating Safari Camp, located in private Indian lands & government preserves, by private Caravan charter float planes, putting you into primo unpressured Peacock Bass fishing waters the first day. This new concept enables people who cannot spend 9 days away from the office or family to enjoy Peacock Bass fishing as never before in a very private upscale atmosphere. We are offering these short trips at our “New Concept” Single Occupancy Safari Camps where everyone has a private 250 sq ft, air-conditioned cabin, complete with a queen bed plus a private bathroom and shower with only 6 people in camp! The chartered Caravan float plane to and from your Safari Camp as well as all tackle including TFO bait casting, spinning plus fly rods, Shimano reels, Power Pro lines PLUS ALL TERMINAL TACKLE, LURES & FLIES are included at no additional cost!

Many people have asked me about shorter trips than the conventional trip available offering 6 ½ days of fishing for Peacock Bass in Brazil’s Amazon. After having managed the American offices of two of the largest mother boat operations in Brazil’s Amazon we found that short trips really cut down the days of quality fishing one experiences to just a few. By the time you fly into Barcelos and board your mother boat the first day of your trip, it was the 2nd day of your trip if you ran hard upriver all night before you were in decent fishing waters that were not heavily pressured. And then the last day of your trip you had to be back in Barcelos so you could catch the plane back to Manaus early the next morning, having given you just a couple of days of fishing in good waters. Thus these trips have never been very popular.

The logistics of our short trips allow you to travel to Brazil’s Amazon, enjoying 4 ½ days of upscale Peacock Bass fishing and be out of the house or office less than a week, or enjoy 3 ½ days of awesome fishing being out of the house only 5 days! And we have prices to match, $4,990. for the trip offering 4 ½ days of private lands single occupancy fishing and $4,250. for the trip offering 3 1/2 day of fishing. A day room at the hotel the last day in Manaus is also included. Trip prices are all inclusive upon your arrival in Manaus with the exception of gratuities and your meals the last day in Manaus.

FISH WITH THE BEST AWAY FROM THE REST
The leader in Brazil’s Peacock Bass Fishing Since 1992

If you have fished Peacock Bass in Brazil’s Amazon before you most probably have flown into Barcelos and experienced the myriad of mother boats on the wharf waiting for their clients to arrive and then all trying to beat each other upriver to the most ideal fishing grounds.  The first two days of the trip anglers are relegated to heavily fished areas visited by all the mother boat operations trying to get upriver away from the others. Days 3 & 4 you will experience decent fishing as the mother boats disperse. Then on day 5 the mother boats will begin to head back to Barcelos and days 6 and 7 you will be in the heavily fished areas near town again.  As Barcelos is the only city on the upper Rio Negro with sufficient resources for the mother boats to resupply with fuel & food, all 30+ mother boats able to handle from 8 – 24 anglers/week fishing the Rio Negro are relegated to fishing this same circuit for 6 consecutive months.

The other option, if you want to enjoy the true remote Peacock Bass fishing adventure you really traveled to Brazil’s Amazon for, is River Plate’s concept of flying from Manaus, your port of entry into Brazil, directly to our floating mobile Safari Camps on secluded black water tributaries in all 4 dry zones from late July to mid March.  River Plate Anglers is the only outfitter fishing Brazil’s Amazon that offers Peacock Bass fishing trips on waters they have leased exclusive entry from the Indigenous peoples living on these black water tributaries to the Rio Negro, the Rio Branco and Rio Madeira Rivers.  Fly by Caravan charter plane directly to your camp by float plane or to a jungle airstrip near your Safari Camp and be fishing in prime waters the first afternoon of your trip where you will see no other anglers except your group.  You can expect to catch 20 – 40 Peacocks per day, better than double what you could expect to catch in the heavily fished areas of the main river and BIG Peacocks are readily available.  This is not one of the many yacht trips that offers fishing in Brazil’s Amazon, this is a true Peacock Bass fishing trip that offers upscale accommodations, food, guides, equipment and services!

Our single occupancy Safari Camps will accommodate only 6 anglers per week in 250 sq ft air-conditioned single occupancy cabins, featuring queen beds and private bathrooms and showers.  There is no need to spend the week with 20 of your best friends you’ve never met; experience the Amazon the way you dreamed, away from the crowds!  Spend the evenings after a days fishing enjoying the sights and sounds of the rain forest on a secluded sand bar the way the Portuguese did 400 years ago when they first explored the Amazon River Basin.  Enjoy daily maid and laundry service, upscale meals with a Brazilian flair, all adult beverages, bottled water and soft drinks.

We utilize custom built 21’ fully equipped bass boats especially designed and built in Brazil for fishing these black water tributaries.  The big, wide & heavy American style bass boats are necessary to safely navigate the big waters of the main river channels, but limit mobility when trying to access the backwater lakes and lagoons where the trophy Peacocks like to hang out.  Our guides grew up on these tributaries & know the river and the Peacock Bass like no other.  Custom TFO bait casting, spinning and fly rods equipped with TFO fly reels & Shimano bait casting and spinning reels are available at camp for your use at no additional cost. All lures and baits, including flies, are also furnished at no additional cost for our anglers.  Upon arrival at your Safari Camp is not the time to discover you have not brought the proper lures or fishing tackle.  Be aware when you talk to any outfitter, the sign of a first class trip is one offering all the lures & tackle especially tailored to your trip, at no additional cost!

Come enjoy the remote Amazon Peacock Bass fishing trip anglers enjoyed in the 1990’s when Peacock Bass fishing was the fishing adventure of the mystic Amazon.
