Amazon Brazil

Brazil

Brazil is a friendly country and travel to Brazil is safe and enjoyable with its diverse culture and unspoiled rain forest. The Brazilian currency is the 'Real' and can be exchanged in the airports, banks, and hotels in Manaus. People in Brazil speak Portuguese mainly. The culture is indigenous but also has its blend of European influence that makes Brazil exotic and unique.

Background/History

Brazil became under rule of Portugal for over three centuries, Brazil finally gained its independence in 1822. It still remains the largest and most populous country in South America. Brazil continues to lead in South America in industrial and agricultural growth with its trading partners. Brazil offers incredible vast natural resources and a large labor pool to pull it all off, it is South America's leading economic producer and exporter.

Amazon Location

Eastern side of South America, on the Atlantic Ocean.

Main City Of Manaus Brazil

Manaus is the capital city in Brazil for the Amazonas. Maunas is located on the confluence of the Negro and Solimões Rivers. It is the largest city of Amazonas, and has always been a popular fly fishing & eco-tourist destination. Manaus is located in northern Brazil, 1,932 kilometers (1,200 miles) from the nations capital, Brasilia. Some of the best Peacock Bass fishing in the world is known to exist in this part of the world.

Rio Madeira

rio madiera

The Madeira River (Means Wood River) is a key waterway in South America, approximately 2,100 miles long. The Madeira is the longest tributary of the Amazon. It is formed by the junction of the Mamoré and Beni Rivers in Bolivia and flows north along the border between Bolivia and Brazil. It meanders northeast in Brazil to join the Amazon east of Manaus. Measured from the upper reaches of the Mamoré, it is 2,082 miles long. In late August we offer Peacock Bass trips on this part of the River.

Rio Negro

rio negro

Rio Negro (Means Black River) is the largest tributary of the Amazon and the most massive black water river in the world. It has its sources along the watershed between the Orinoco and the Amazon basins, and also connects with the Orinoco by way of the Casiquiare canal. The Rio Negro flows into the Rio Solimões to form the Amazon River below Manaus, Brazil.

Fly Fishing Trip Information

Amazon Brazil Peacock Bass - Fly Fishing Equipment List

Rods: Fly rods 8wt to 11wt, 10wt being the best weight if you can only bring one rod, but we highly suggest to bring 2 or 3 full set ups for best results.

Reels: Good quality large arbor salt water type reels with strong drag and the capacity to hold numerous yards of 30 lb. backing.

Line: Any good quality floating lines like Rio or Scientific Anglers, weight forward, lines. I prefer to use a shooting head system because peacock bass are definitely not line shy. If you are bringing a second rod, I recommend a 5ft. #6 sinking-tip line for the second outfit, which is a high density sink tip for certain types of conditions.

Leaders: Simply cut a 5-6 ft. section of 40, 50, or 60 lb. "hard mono" and tie it on as a straight-leader. If you are interested in fishing for line class records for peacock bass, you will need a leader with a heavy butt section, followed by your IGFA approved line class section between two Bimini twists, ending in a 20lb., 30lb., or 40lb. fluorocarbon tippet. Be sure to check on the current IGFA record for the line class that you are fishing, so you will know if a record breaking fish has been caught.

Amazon Brazil Flies: Peacock bass flies should be tied on large sharp, 3/0-4/0 hooks. Peacock bass will hit top-water poppers, but large streamers will produce more strikes. All colors will attract peacocks to strike, especially combinations using yellow, green, red, olive, and blue. Smaller 3"-4" streamers are easier to cast and will produce a lot of strikes from fish in the 2-6 pound range. For really large peacock bass, you will need to fish with a streamer that is from 5"-8" in length.

Recommended flies for peacock bass in the Amazon rain forest:

  • Streamers
  • Wool flies (or can be tied with Bozo hair)
  • Rabbit tail slider
  • Deceivers
  • Poppers
  • Dahlberg divers
  • Foam poppers
