As a reference, the total fish caught last week Nov. 19-26 by 15 anglers was only 758 for the full week.

In these last 3 days (Nov. 26 – 28) fishing continues to be poor since water levels continue to be high. Despite our up-front rescheduling recommendations, the two parties that decided to come are enjoying vacationing in the comforts of our new cabins placed in the rainforest remoteness.
Ten-day forecasts from three different sources continue to indicate above normal rains due to La Nina which is in the last phase of a 3-year cycle. Therefore, we continue to adamantly suggest that parties reschedule. If guest wish to fish the Negro river, our riverboat the Black Water Express is fully available; however, the fishing conditions are not better.

In only 2 ½ days, a total of 480 fish were landed by 23 anglers, 15 of which were in the 10- 16 lb class.
Fishing is bellow average but, it seems that on the west side tributaries of the Branco, rainfall in the last 7 days was not as frequent and water levels have stooped rising. On the upper Branco, by the city of Caracarai, water levels have dropped over the last five days. If it continues this way, fishing this week could turn out to be very good since water levels in many areas on this basin are only ½ foot above the jungle line. But, again, with La Niña who knows? La Niña’s forecast is that this is the last year of a 3-year cycle and that everything will go back to normal.
On the other hand, there continues to be a 10-day forecast of rain. We are therefore letting next week parties decide if they wish to reschedule.
