Big ones incoming! Staying paid off!

736 Peacocks boated by 8 anglers

9^th week fishing the Amazon and our plan to stay on the Matupiri paid off. This time it was the Brock family together with 3 US anglers that had the opportunity to fish these exclusive waters. Guests had a blast, boating some high-quality fish; a few 18s and 19s. But the highlight was the 20-pounder caught on the 4^th day which made for a hard beast to reel in. It was measured at 79cm. This week was all about quality fish rather than numbers; average size of fish increased considerably.

Weather: Sunny days with some cloud cover. We experienced a few short showers but that isn’t keeping the water level from decreasing. Our South West Zone forecasts good weather with some chances of rain.

Groups: 1

Anglers: 8

Peacock Bass Count: 736*

Moving North

477 Peacocks boated by 7 anglers

Week 8 of our 2023 season and we switched rivers. We moved our camp north to the Matupiri reserve in search of better waters, although the week started at a slow pace. Water levels weren’t at the right height when our group arrived, but the fishing got up the pace as the week progressed. Waters have receded at a very high rate which highly improved the group’s odds. We plan to stay at the Matupiri given the rate at which waters are lowering; we are hopeful that next week the river will produce great fishing opportunities.

Groups: 1

Anglers: 7

Peacock Bass Count: 477*

Biggest: 13lbs

Over 8lbs: 64

*Other less aggressive tropical species were left out of the fishing tally.
