Acute Angling has long focused on the exploration of new waters. Some of the most exciting waters we've found have their origin in Brazil's Guyana Shield highlands. Coursing down through ancient, weather-softened mountain ranges, they contain populations of some of the fiercest fishes on the planet. We've sampled many of them and we've found our favorites.
The upper Travessão River, isolated by impassable waterfalls below and a protected Indian reservation above, has long beckoned us as a potentially outstanding variety fishery. Now we finally have the chance to operate full scale fishing trips within its most interesting and varied sections.
The Travessão's isolated waters hold a true potpourri of Amazon species. Big, ugly trairao up to 40 pounds, bicuda up to 3 feet long, hieroglyphic patterned suribim and the biggest black piranha we've ever seen haunt the narrow upper reaches, while the wider central section holds peacock bass in the shallows and trophy payara in the quick running rocky areas. Deep holes harbor a contingent of giant Amazon catfish.
New for 2009, we'll be exploring Brazil's eastern rivers with an exploratory trip on the Rio Pacu. This majestic river holds payara, pirapitinga, bicuda, suribim, jau, big pacu and peacock bass.
If you're not afraid to rough it and you're looking for some extreme fishing excitement, then join us on the wild and isolated Travessão or the majestic Pacu and become among the first outsiders to experience these eerily beautiful lands.
Imagine casting your line into the mysterious and beautiful black waters of the Brazilian Amazon. Then imagine the explosive strike of one of the biggest Peacock Bass you've ever seen. Then picture yourself fighting and landing the world's greatest freshwater gamefish and the trophy you've been dreaming of. Imagine doing this for days on end, without intrusive interruptions, or hurrying off because you've run out of time.
