Note - These trips are primarily planned for available waters in the Rio Negro basin, however,  productive peacock bass fishing is controlled by ambient conditions.  In order to ensure a quality experience for our clients, river and date combinations may be subject to access to the fishery named, along with weather conditions and water levels.  If factors prevent the use of a specified fishery or dates, an alternative river will be used, or alternative dates and/or rainchecks will be offered.  Below are some of the alternative rivers we may utilize.

Jufari River - One of the most dependable rivers in the Rio Negro basin.  Lightly stained black water favors high numbers.  Restricted access to this fishery ensures very high daily catch averages (15 - 50 fish per day) and a good proportion of trophy peacocks up to 22 pounds.

Caures River - A black water river that has a little bit of everything. Great surface action for peacocks and excellent opportunities for big red-tail catfish.  High daily catch averages (10 - 30 fish per day) and a great proportion of trophy peacocks up to 24 pounds.

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 - The Unini requires an additional license fee, making its "Express" price $4250 

If conditions warrant, we may also fish the Rio Cuini, Araca, Paduari, Preto, Uneuixi, Tea and others.
