Learn to Catch Peacock Bass
A How-to Guide of Tactics and Techniques for Amazon Peacock Bass.
When to Catch Them
The key to successfully fishing these regions is to be in the right place at the right time. Peacock fishing is simply at its best in dropping water conditions. Everything we do is geared to enabling us to effectively access peacock bass waters as they drop. Thankfully, the Amazon has a reasonably consistent seasonal progression of water levels that allows us to predict fairly well, where we'll be fishing and when. But, even though we can make complicated schedules, Nature still has the power to trump any human plans. So we stay mobile. Why? In the face of falling and rising waters, bureaucratic unpredictability and the demands of a mighty, untamed river system, our best strategy will always be to stay flexible and be prepared to move even faster than the changing waters.
Rio Madeira Basin: The rivers of the Rio Madeira basin are at their best from August through October. The further south in the system, the earlier the season begins. The Rio Marmelos, for instance is an August fishery while the Igapo Acu region comes into its own in September and October. Acute Angling focus its efforts on this highly productive fishery using the Blackwater Explorer yacht. See our available Rio Madeira basin schedule here; Fall Igapo Acu yacht trips.
Rio Negro Basin: The rivers of the Rio Negro basin are relatively variable compared to the other basins. In any given season, they may fish well from October through February. Sometimes, however, weather conditions significantly modify this window of opportunity. For this reason, we stay highly mobile throughout this period, ensuring that we are in optimal fishing conditions at all times. See our available Rio Negro basin yacht schedule here; Blackwater Explorer yacht trips. See our available Rio Negro basin floating bungalow schedule here; Floating Bungalow trips.
Rio Branco Basin: This highly productive fishery generally comes into its own in Late November and can remain productive well into March before the rains come in April.
