Note: this 2 1/2 days report is to rush last weekend´s conditions to our incoming anglers.
Anglers arriving this week continue to benefit from the delicate equilibrium of the slowly rising Negro basin and the slowly receding Branco basin, that benefits directly our private fisheries in the upper Xeurini and Jufaris rivers. Moreover negligible rain is expected for the coming days. All in all, excellent fishing conditions for the near future.
Fly fishermen it Floating Suites I in the upper Xeruini are having a blast with sight fishing, while traditional bait-casters in the other fisheries are seeing great top-water action straining their tackle to the very limit.
Water levels are high, closed for the season, which is normal for this time of the year.

The Negro influence is being felt in the lower sectors of the Xeruini and Jufaris, floating suites have moved upriver towards the Branco area of influence. Negligible rain is expected in the coming days.
The Branco basin is in its normal receding cycle. Fishing conditions are good in all our fisheries. Negligible rain is expected for the rest of the week (see water level sketch below)
