Unini River - One of the most consistently productive rivers in Amazonia.  Dark water favors surface action and results in violent, explosive topwater strikes.  Excellent daily catch averages (15 - 25 fish per day) and a very high proportion of trophy peacocks up to 25 pounds.

Note - All river/date combinations are based on expected water level conditions.  The above groups are planned for the Rio Unini.  Sometimes the weather causes dry seasons to begin a little earlier or later than usual.  If the seasons shift, it is possible that we may elect to fish other rivers (the Rio Jufari, Araca, Cuini) during some of the dates shown to optimize fishing conditions and take advantage of the best water levels.
