HEAVY PEACOCKS LURKING CLEAR WATERS

Over 1000 Peacocks Boated by 2 Parties

We started Week 4 of our season with the following parties:
Our long-time-repeating Don Lewis party of 8 friends from Texas on the Abacaxis tribal reservation with a total of 845 peacock bass with many over 14lbs, the biggest over 19lbs. They fished the headwaters with perfect low water levels.
The Williams group fished on our newest site, on the Iriri river on the Ecological Station Preserve with 7 fly fishermen from Louisiana and Arkansas. They enjoyed supreme multispecies fishing in the shallow and gin-clear waters. They landed 12 giant wolf-fish from 15 to 23 lbs, mostly all by sight on top water poppers. Plus, over 200 fish mostly peacocks bass, pacus, red tail catfish, matrincha, and black piranhas. The payaras should start coming into play soon, as last year, when water levels drops a bit more.

WATER LEVELS at both of our private rivers being now fished are perfectly low pushing the lurkers out of the jungle to fishable waters in great numbers!

WEATHER FORECAST: We are currently fishing the South-East dry season zone with no rain for the next 7 days, as shown in the map below in the pink area. We moved over 500 miles to our private rivers in this zone 4 weeks ago due to good rainfall forecasts.

Light at the end of the tunnel

565 Peacocks boated by 4 anglers

Week 5 started with chaos and stress at the airports. Flights were grounded and our anglers struggled to get out of the US. Only 4 of the originally planned 8 anglers made it. We were delighted that our lucky 4 managed to get to Brazil (after Ubers, new flight tickets, etc.) but gutted that 4 missed their trip of a lifetime.
All in all, our anglers experienced what Peacocks are about while enjoying fine Amazonian weather.

Weather: Clear skies, hot and humid. The usual. Our South-East forecasts show no rain for the next week. Water levels are still going down at a stable rate as expected.

Groups: 1

Anglers: 4

Peacock Bass Count: 565

Biggest: 17 lbs

Over 8lbs: 16
