Rio Branco Peacock Bass
| Fishing
in this region generally begins in late November and can continue right
into March. Like the Madeira, the Rio Branco itself is not a peacock sportfishery.
However, its clear water tributaries, such as the Tapera and Xeriuini produce
greater numbers of peacock bass than anywhere else in the Amazon basin.
Although peacocks over 20 lbs. are not common here, the area is known for
a high proportion of midsize fish and with more than enough fish in the
high teens to satisfy any fisherman. Anglers here can land as many as 20
to 100 fish per day! The pristine waters in these tributaries drain through
the vast biofilter of northern savannah lands. The resultant clear black
waters lend themselves to sight fishing and are highly productive for both
fly and conventional anglers. When you add in the |
exceptional beauty of
this region, with its small waters, white sand beaches and looming forests,
you have the makings of the most idyllic peacock adventure of all.
