Mid-Week Fishing Report: June 09 – 11 , 2018 (2 ½ days)

PEACOCK BASS SEASON IS NOW OFFICIALLY OPEN

We have started operating in Dry-Zone S.E. last week at our exclusive Marmelos river private fishery. The Brito group integrated by 8 anglers broke waters this 2018-19 season, landing 969 peacock bass the largest of which weighed 17lbs.. The catch also included several notable specimens of pirara, pirapitinga, matrinxã, bicuda, apapá and piranhas. Last weekend we received the Ferracioli group, also of 8 anglers which in 2 1/2 days had a promising start landing 176 peacock bass the largest of which weighed 16 pounds. Floating-Suites are stationed way up in the river, water levels are reported to be just 1.5 ft. above the ideal level. Weather forecast for the rest of the week shows no significant rain episodes in the area, making us think that the dropping water level tendency will continue.

Dry-Zone S.East 
Water levels are 1.5 ft. above optimal level and dropping (see graph below - Humaita). Weather forecast confirms tendency (see report below - Manicore).
 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 high,  closed for the season, which is normal for this time of the year.
Dry-Zone N.East
Water levels are high,  closed for the season, which is normal for this time of the year.
Water levels for the Madeira basin measured at Humaita depicts the normal dropping tendency that directly affects our Marmelos river private fishery.
NOTE that the yellow area at the North affecting the Amazon basin and our fisheries makes us believe that it might have a positive influence (70%) in our fisheries, averting extreme water levels for the rest of the season.
  Weather forecast for Manicore in the area of influence of the Marmelos private fishery shows no significant rain episodes for the rest of the week.

Gradually bringing closure to a great season.

 

The entire trip was awesome. I hesitate to mark this off my bucket list because feel the true need to return. The entire staff provided extraordinary and personal service. You could tell that they enjoy what they are doing and strive to pass along the greatest experience.
Alejandro was the most amazing host and the stories he could tell kept us entertained every evening. The guides were top notch with incredible boat handling skills. A special thanks to our guide Manuel for putting us on the big fish. I hooked four consecutive fish over 10 lbs by simply following his directions on one magical day.
Thanks, Keith Sherman – Feb 2018

 

 

  Sustainability is a major priority embedded in our preservation community based management program .The season is coming to an end , and we are  slowly moving out of our private fisheries maintaining stress levels within the  planned maximum of 1.5 mile / angler / season. Once we move out, river communities will police these waters in order to preserve these fantastic areas for the seasons to come.      

We have highlighted in red below the  latest news  
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 3.0 ft. above jungle level and rising which is not normal for this time of the year. The Negro influence is being felt in the lower sectors of the Xeruini and Jufaris.
Dry-Zone N.East
Water levels in many areas are now too low. They are  under the influence of the above  normal Branco basin receding cycle. Therefore, our Floating-suites are navigating  towards the middle part of the rivers with higher  waters levels and better  trophy peacock bass fishing conditions. This dry  tendency is expected to continue in the coming days where no significant rain episodes are forecasted in the Branco basin.

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

  Reasons for this Season´s good fishing results are our various private fisheries distributed in the different Dry-Zones. This season´s changing water levels have once again confirmed our vision. Our guests continue to enjoy good peacock bass  fishing conditions while the  public areas on the  Barcelos / Negro Basin  , Dry Zone N.West and part of Dry-Zone N.East, as of 3 weeks ago are almost all  flooded, and the not flooded areas are packed with competitors! Heavy rain is expected towards the end of the week in all the area, starting on Friday, but should benefit  our fishing since many fisheries are even too dry for navigation.    

Dry-Zone S.East 
Water levels are high, closed for the season, which is normal for this time of the year.
