Why are so many of Acute Angling's fishing trips less expensive, yet more productive than others?

Acute Angling is very different from other sites you may visit promoting peacock bass and other exotic fishing trips.  Most other websites and organizations offering these trips operate only as booking agencies.  They receive a commission, as would any travel agent, and they send you off on trips offered by an independent outfitter or fishing company.  Quite often, they have no knowledge or experience about your destination.  They take your money and send you off with their best wishes.

       Although we also provide complete booking agency services, we specialize in and feature a wide range of our own exclusive and unique programs.....and we go with you.  These featured trips are personally hosted by Paul Reiss, or one of our other experienced bilingual hosts, and are directly organized by our company.  When you fish with Acute Angling, you won't find yourself up some remote river without the proverbial paddle.  We personally manage our trips and are on-site, fishing with you.  We can help with fishing techniques, tackle and a variety of extras that no absentee agency can provide.  With Acute Angling, you have a guide who speaks your language and is dedicated to making your trip a success

 Step 1. - For Fishing Trip Information - First select the type of trip:
For specific trip types and facilities information, select the category below;

Safari-Style Camps Peacock Bass - Safari-style camps are designed with the hard-core, adventurous angler in mind.  The key theory behind safari camps is to access the most inaccessible waters in the Amazon.  Hosted safari trips in Brazil are offered on selected, big-fish rivers.

Yacht Trips Peacock Bass - Living aboard the beautiful new "Blackwater Explorer", a comfortable, air-conditioned mother ship and then fishing every day from stable aluminum bass boats offers the best of both worlds.   The yacht-based trips boast both incredible mobility and relaxed comfort.  Water levels and fishing conditions often change on a weekly basis in the Amazon.  A mobile mother ship operation can keep its clients in productive water despite changing conditions.

Lodges -  Peacock Bass - Accommodations offer comfortable, air-conditioned lodging, private bathrooms, hot showers and all the comforts of home.  Lodge trips are a good bet for those who want to experience the great outdoors while remaining secure from the 'wilds' of the jungle.  The best type of trip to bring along a non-fishing companion. Virtually all fixed camps are located on one or more productive fisheries.

Exploratory Trips -  We're always looking for great new fisheries.  Each year we explore one or more untested rivers.  When we find one with potential, we organize an exploratory trip, sometimes limited to 4 to 6 adventurous anglers.  Although the camps are often basic (pup tents, thermarest pads, shore meals and open-air bathrooms), the sky's the limit when it comes to the fishing opportunities.

Payara - Take the bone-jarring strike of a peacock bass and the aerial exploits of the dorado, couple that with immense, high speed runs and more stamina than a marathon runner and you have the blueprint for the payara's fighting strategy.  Our variety camping trips on the Rio Travessão offer an incredible experience, while the spectacular cascading waters contain some of the largest payara in the world.

Freshwater Dorado - The dorado is one of the greatest fighting gamefish in the world. This extraordinary jumper combines the swimming habits of a salmon with the ferocity and predatory instincts of a tiger shark.  It violently hammers lures and flies, then immediately explodes out of the water in a series of outrageous leaps and line stripping runs.  Join us to pursue big golden breeders who migrate up the Parana and Corrientes rivers in Argentina to spawn deep in the heart of the Ibera Marsh.

Mixed Species - Many of our destinations offer exceptional variety.  Want payara, giant catfish and peacock bass, trairao and more, then the Rio Travessão is the place for you.  How about peacock bass, aruana, redtail catfish and more.  We've got a place for that as well.  All of these destinations are wildly different.  Call us and let's discuss what's right for you.

Tarpon at Rio Parismina Lodge - It is here on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, that enormous schools of marauding tarpon search to satisfy their endless appetite.  Casting a plug or fly into a school of feeding tarpon is just the start of one of the greatest experiences an angler can have.  Perhaps no other fish will take a lure so softly and then explode into wild, acrobatic leaps to throw the lure.  Rio Parismina Lodge also offers anglers the opportunity to catch world record class snook, snapper, wahoo, jack crevalle, king mackerel and tuna.  The seemingly endless network of rivers, streams and lagoons teem with sporty gamefish with names like machaca, mojara and guapote.
