​Our concept of a premier fishing trip is private waters in which to fish, the ability to move to the best waters available at any given time, great accommodations, good food, and great guides and staff.  We lease private waters so that you can go where the fish are.  We offer both our deluxe safari camp with private cabins as well as our traditional double occupancy safari camp.  Our deluxe camp offers each fisherman (or couple) their own air conditioned cabin with a queen bed, private bath and shower.  Our double occupancy safari camps provide two twin beds in each of our air conditioned cabins with private bath and shower to accommodate two fishermen.  All rods, reels and lures are provided to our fishermen for their use while in camp. ​

Our Concept of a Premier Fishing Trip

---

​Tuco's concept of a upscale mobile safari camp offering premium service and accommodations eliminated the need to compete with the river boats and outfitters on the public waters of the Rio Negro.  Linking the floating cabins and support cabins in a “River Train” made it possible to access and fish the remote, unpressured waters of the upper regions of the main river tributaries.  Drawing only 4” of water, the “River Train” concept allows Tuco to move the comfortable, air conditioned Safari Camps several times a week. As a result, our guests have access to uncounted miles of backwater lakes and lagoons as well as the tributaries themselves in a weeks fishing.

​Mobility and Limited Fishing Pressure

Our Private Lands Involve Exclusive Fishing Privlidges

​We have gone a step further to ensure our anglers enjoy the  finest peacock bass fishing experience in the Amazon by negotiating exclusive fishing entry permits from Indian Reservations.  These permits are enforced by the villagers of those particular rivers and several times they have brought in anglers from competing fishing operations that violated these exclusive entry areas and  escorted them off these private entry waters. The compensation given to the indigenous Indian villages have included electrical generators, satellite systems that have allowed the villages to acquire online communications and online learning centers for the indigenous peoples of the remote Amazon, as well as promoting cottage industries such as lure manufacture  providing additional compensation from our fishing  operations.
​

​​These exclusive fishing privileges have allowed us to manage the amount of fishing pressure on a given fishing area, greatly enhancing the numbers and quality of Peacock Bass available to their anglers.  The villagers have discontinued spearing & netting peacocks for their own use and one village recently voted to refrain from targeting Peacock Bass for subsistence helping our overall management of the resource.

Enjoy Shore Lunch During the Week

​
​You have several sightseeing opportunities in and around Manaus if you have time at the beginning or the end of your trip including the opera house built in the age of the rubber barons, the open market, a trip to the meeting of the waters (where the Rio Solome and Rio Negro meet to form the Amazon), and the ability to swim with fresh water dolphins who only live in the Amazon.
