What you Need to Know to Plan a Peacock Bass Fishing Trip |
What about fly-fishing?
 What
about fly fishing? - Not only are peacock bass a terrific fly rod adversary, but the Amazon is loaded with a whole array of fantastic fly rod targets.
Peacock bass aggressively strike flies and provide a tremendous physical challenge
for the angler. Under the right conditions, and on the right rivers,
fly fishing can be the most effective of peacock bass techniques.
The key point to keep in mind, however, is that proper conditions and locales
are necessary for success. Without them, fly fishing for peacocks
and other Amazon species can be difficult, if not downright unproductive. For this reason,
fly casters need to be especially careful about choosing fisheries with the right
water types/conditions.  Clear, or blue-water rivers generally provide the best overall fly fishing conditions. Streamers fished on 200-300 grain sink tip lines are far more effective for large peacocks, but smaller fish will aggressively take poppers and streamers on a floating line. Unless you are an extremely strong fly caster, we recommend that you also bring along backup conventional tackle as well. It makes a great way to find a change of pace for your tired body and provides excellent back-up in case conditions change unexpectedly. We'll work with you to help select the fishery that's just right for your angling expectations. With the right planning, peacock bass can be the greatest fish you've ever experienced on your fly rod. |
