What you Need to Know to Plan a Peacock Bass Fishing Trip |
What exactly is Amazonia?
The Amazon basin, with over one thousand named tributaries and thousands of minor effluents is what is meant when we refer to Amazonia. With a drainage area of almost 3,000,000 square miles (incorporating parts of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Suriname, Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela), the area drained by the Amazon basin is nearly twice as large as that of any of the other great rivers worldwide. It is roughly equal to the size of the continental United States. Navigable for thousands of miles from its mouth, it contains about 20% of all the world's fresh water. With 7 tributaries more than 1000 miles long, the Amazon basin is the world's largest remaining wilderness.  There are plenty of superlatives applicable to the Amazon river itself; In addition to being the world's largest river with the greatest rate of flow, the Amazon has just recently been determined to be the world's longest river as well. At its discharge point in the Atlantic, the river's overall volume is estimated at over seven times that of the Mississippi! 'Amazonia' is an exceedingly diverse combination of specific ecological niches within one giant wilderness. Wildlife, insects, birds, fish and vegetation vary greatly depending upon soil type and proximity to fluctuating water levels. As a result, the biodiversity is second to none. With nearly 3000 species of fish already described, Amazonia is the fisherman's and fish enthusiast's ultimate destination. |
