It’s been a great week fishing for Peacock Bass deep in the rainforest of Brazil. The fishing was awesome but the catching was a little slow because of permit problems. The Amazon requires outfitters to have permits to fish particuliar areas because of commercial fishing for locals which made it difficult to get to the low water areas we needed to fish. The camp had a total of 4 anglers which boated probably 40 fish up to 16 lbs. which is usually on the slow side. But I had a great time and the service was second to none. The peacock bass fishing numbers are usually around 15 to 25 per day per fisherman. So a little slow but still awesome. Most of these fish were caught on topwater lures and small jigs. As these water levels drop over the next few weeks the fishing will improve dramatically. Brazil offers such a diverse opportunity for Peacock Bass fishing from backwater lakes and lagoons to wide rivers with many tributaries. The scenery and wildlife was also quite beautiful and something to see.
