    This trip is for the hardcore angler only!

         The upper Travessão River, isolated by impassable waterfalls below and a protected Indian reservation above, has long beckoned as a potentially outstanding variety fishery.  2007 proved to be the year we were finally able to mount a full scale exploratory trip within its most interesting and varied section.  The trips provided in-depth exploratory data and told us just what this river's potential really is.  The results were better than we could have imagined and we're going back.

         The Travessão's varied waters hold a potpourri of Amazon species.  Big, ugly trairao up to 35 pounds,  bicuda over 3 feet long, huge catfish over 300 pounds, heiroglyphic patterned suribim and the world's record black piranha haunt the narrow upper reaches, while the wider central section holds big peacocks in the shallows and big payara in basins and quick running rocky areas.  Deep holes harbor agressive pescada and a whole contingent of giant Amazon catfish.  One of our exploratory clients set four new IGFA all-tackle world records here in 2007.

         The 2010 trips will be operated by Amazon Fringe Expeditions, usinge their proven exploratory technique of total immersion in the fishery.  Nothing fancy.  Pup tents, riverbank camping and barbecued fish and meat with rice and beans.  We'll carry our camp with us as we wend our way through the descending river's changing environments.  With this simplicity comes extreme mobility and flexibility.  Only six groups, with eight anglers per group will experience this amazing land that time forgot.

             If you're not afraid to rough it and you're looking for some real fishing excitement, then join us next January and February, 2010 on the upper Travessão and  become among the first outsiders to fish this angler's paradise.
