MID-WEEK FISHING REPORT: JAN 20 – 27, 2018 (2 ½ DAYS)

ALL OUR ANGLERS ENJOYING GOOD WATER LEVELS

Please note that the 2 1/2 days is to promptly report last weekend results to our incoming anglers.

 

 

5.134 peacock bass landed last week by our 34 visiting anglers, plus an assortment of other species including massive aruanás, graceful trairas, aggressive black piranhas, etc.

Fishing conditions are currently good, lots of top water action. Fly-fishermen are also unstoppable, barely resting for lunch, poppers and bright colored minnows are working hard. Forecast for the coming days shows no significant rain episodes affecting our fisheries. Although the Negro basin is rising, with the extended rain forecast in the upper Negro basin, we do not expect this to affect our fisheries in the coming weeks.


  Dry-Zone S.East 

Water levels are high, closed for the season, which is normal for this time of the year.

 Dry-Zone S.West 

Water levels are high,  closed for the season, which is normal for this time of the year.

(beige in map above) Dry-Zone N.West

Water levels are about 1.0ft. above jungle level and rising. The Negro influence is being felt in the lower sectors of the Xeruini and Jufaris, floating suites have moved upriver. Some moderate rain is expected in the coming days.

Dry-Zone N.East

Water levels are about 1.0 ft below jungle level and rising. Fishing conditions are good. Negligible rain is expected for the rest of the week (see water level sketch below)

NOTE that the green area at the North affecting the Amazon basin and our fisheries is now darker, this makes us believe that it might have a positive influence (70%) in our fisheries, averting extreme low water levels as we had last season.
