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. |
