RIVER PLATE Amazon OUTFITTERS´ PEACOCK BASS FISHING REPORTS POSTED WEEKLY!

Listed below are the Mid-Week Amazon Fishing Reports. They are rushed by e-mail to our agents every Tuesday night, in order that our weekend incoming guests may be duly informed before departure.

Please note, these are true weights … sometimes in the Amazon the 17-19 lbs4. class are considered 20 lbs. trophies…

January 28-30, 2012 (2-1/2 days)

DOWNLOAD REPORT

Peacock Bass fishing is very reasonable despite the last couple of days rain which was forecasted in our previous report. Last Saturday thru yesterday , only 2 ½ days, a total of 1024 fish were landed by 33 anglers, 53 of which were in the 8 - 16 lb class, 2 in the 17-19 lb class. (Last week, Jan 21-28, a total of 3826 Peacocks were landed by 19 anglers).

We have moved 5 of our 6 Floating Cabins to the Branco basin where forecasts continue to predict very little rain, except, next week-end. At our operations, water levels have fluctuated upwards and is almost at the jungle-line (see water level picture bellow) but, if 10-day forecasts are correct, peacock bass fishing should improve at our Exclusive-Private Waters: Omero, Xeurini, and Tapera.

The Branco Basin 10-day forecast, except for next week-end, continues to be of low rain probability (30-40%). You may wish to click on Caracarai and Boa Vista which are the two towns at the north Branco basin’s sphere-of-influence.

However, on the Negro basin tributaries, water levels continue getting higher and, except, for the Araca all tributaries are not fishable. Due to high water, 3 weeks ago, we have moved our Floating Cabins from our Exclusive Private-Water Jufari to the open-to-the-public upper Araca where regretfully we must continue to fish along with other sport fishing operators. Although there continues to be a 10-day forecast of high rain probability (60%) in the Negro basin, the upper Araca is still low and it should hold up for another 1-2 weeks. You may wish to click on Barcelos and São Gabriel da Cachoeira which are the two towns on the Negro basin’s sphere-of-influence.

If forecasts hold, our parties arriving at the end of this week should expect good peacock bass fishing at River Plate’s Exclusive Private-Water fisheries on the lower Branco basin and reasonable fishing at the open-to-the-public upper Araca.

We have moved 5 of our 6 Floating Cabins to the Branco basin where forecasts continue to predict little or no rain except for next Wednesday. At our operations, water levels have fluctuated through out the week just below the jungle line (see water level picture bellow) and, if 10-day forecasts are correct, peacock bass fishing should continue to be good at River Plate’s exclusive private waters: Omero, Xeurini, and Tapera.

However, on the Negro basin tributaries, water levels are high except for the Araca. Here, due to high water, we have moved our Floating Cabins from our exclusive private-water Jufari to the open-to-the-public upper Araca where regretfully we will have to fish along with other sport fishing operators. Although there continues to be a 10-day forecast of high rain probability (60%) in the Negro basin, the upper Araca is so low that it should hold up for another 2-3 weeks. You may wish to click on Barcelos and São Gabriel da Cachoeira which are the two towns on the Negro basin’s sphere-of-influence.

If forecasts hold, our parties arriving at the end of this week should expect great peacock bass fishing at River Plate’s exclusive private-water fisheries on the lower Branco basin and at the open-to-the-public upper Araca.

On the Branco, except for next Wednesday, forecasts continue to predict little or no rain. Water levels have fluctuated thru out the week from fair to good (see water level picture bellow) and, if 10-day forecasts are correct, peacock bass fishing should continue to be good at the lower end of the Branco’s tributaries, such as, River Plate’s exclusive private waters: Omero, Xeurini, Tapera, and Jufari.

Hotel Tropical

As of two weeks, we are using the Caesar’s Park Hotel for two reasons:

  1. (a) The Hotel Tropical is under construction and quite "run down"

  2. (b) The Hotel Tropical logistics are not good and will get worst as of next season. The charter flight airport will be undergoing a 16-month reconstruction. As of next June, all charter flights will be on the other side of town nearer to the Caesar’s Park Hotel. Long time guests perceive this change has a major upgrade .The Caesar’s is well known for its 5- star service and, except for arrival day transfer (30 minutes), the logistics are superior. No more long evening car rides into town during rush hour to reach the famous Buffalo steak house. From the Caesar’s it is only a 5 minutes drive. Guests can now have a short lunch at the hotel, fast nap, visit the Museum and Theater and still be at Buffalo at 7pm. From the Caesar’s, morning van transfer for charter flights now and next year is only 15 minutes. But next year, from the Hotel Tropical on Saturdays it will be 50 minutes and on Fridays (rush hour) it could be as much as 1 ½ hours!

Fishing is very good despite rain during the last 3 days. In only 2 ½ days, a total of 1519 fish were landed by 26 anglers, 130 of which were in the 8 - 16 lb class, 4 in the 16-19 lb class and one 20 pounder. Most fishes were caught on top water lures since we do not overfish our private-water fisheries.

On the Branco, as 10-day forecasts predicted, it rained for the last 3 days; however, the same forecasts predict another 10 days of little or no rain. Water levels are now fair and, if forecasts are correct, peacock bass fishing should be excellent at the lower end of the Branco’s tributaries, such as, River Plate’s exclusive private waters: Omero, Xeurini, Tapera, and Shufaris. We have moved our Floating Cabins out of the upper Negro tributaries (Eneuixi Indian Reserve) as forecasts are not good. (La Nina!)

The Branco Basin 10-day forecast continues to be of low rain probability (10-30%). You may wish to click on Caracarai and Boa Vista which are the two towns on the Branco basin’s sphere-of-influence.

However, there are still risks ahead since LA NIÑA’s global influence is forecasted to end only in May. For instance, in the Negro basin there continues to be a 10-day forecast of high rain probability (60%). You may wish to click on Barcelos and São Gabriel da Cachoeira which are the two towns on the Negro basin’s sphere-of-influence.

Therefore, our parties arriving at the end of this week should have great peacock bass fishing on River Plate’s exclusive private-water fisheries on the lower the Branco basin.

Fishing is way below standards as it continued to rain throughout the week. There continues to be a 10-day forecast of unusually high rain due to LA NIÑA. We are therefore urging all our next weeks’ parties to reschedule but, for those that come, we will compensate them with a 20% discount for a future trip within the next two years.

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.

WATER LEVELS AT OUR FISHERIES:

Fishing continues to be poor due to continuing rain fall across the Negro and Branco basins with rising water levels. Except for two anglers (click chart), we rescheduled all of our parties into the next 4 months.
We are therefore strongly suggesting all parties arriving this weekend to reschedule up until mid March 2012. Except for week-end rains, there is a 10-day forecast of mild rain so, maybe, the second week of november will be fishable.
We will post this coming Monday 7th by 1 pm ECT a water level/fishing update.

Fishing is poor due to strong rain fall across the Negro and Branco basins with rapidly rising water levels. In only 2 ½ days, a total of 592 fish were landed by 26 anglers, 20 of which were in the 10- 16 lb class.

We are therefore suggesting all parties arriving this weekend to reschedule. There is a 10-day forecast of above-the-average rain fall on the Negro and Branco basins and since water levels are already at the jungle line (click on chart), the outcome is not good.

There may be some “get by fishing” with only small fish of about 6-12 fish per boat for those that may still wish to come.
