Over 400 Peacocks caught by 4 fly fishermen in 2 ½ days, Aug 6 – 8, 2016 in Brazil’s Amazon!8/11/2016 We presently have a group of 4 fly fishermen from Mexico fishing the Igapo Acu River in our private lands fishery inside the Muhura Indian Reservation south of Manaus in Dry Zone #2. From Saturday afternoon thru Tuesday evening, they had boated over 600 Peacock Bass, 20 Peacock weighing 8 lbs or better including 14 & 15 pound fish. We are usually fishing the Marmelos River further south in July and early August, but water levels are at an all time low there so we have moved our mobile floating camps to our private lands fishery in our Igapo Acu and Matupiri Rivers private lands fishery. River Plate leases over 7 million acres of private Indian and Federal lands that encompass over 1.500 miles of black water tributaries in the Amazon’s Dry Zones 1 – 4, extending from 400 miles south of Manaus to 400 miles northwest of Manaus to ensure we can put our anglers on lightly pressured waters with the best water levels throughout the fishing season. We begin fishing Dry Zones 1 & 2 south of Manaus in late July and end the season in early March fishing Dry Zones # 3 & 4. Experience the type of fishing we experienced in the late 1990’s, with miles of rivers that enjoy little to no fishing pressure. In our private land fisheries, catches of 25 – 40 Peacock Bass/day per person are the norm and not the exception.! Small groups of 6 – 8 anglers flying directly to our remote camps from Manaus, enables us to put you on prime fishing waters the first day of your trip! Air-conditioned single occupancy cabins with queen beds and double occupancy cabins with single beds are available.
