After a long hiatus, the legendary Rio Unini has been reopened to sport fishing!  Even better news, Acute Angling is pleased to announce that our beautiful Blackwater Explorer yacht will provide access to the same exclusive section of this great river 

The Blackwater Explorer yacht will provide comfortable access to the Rio Unini's peacock bass.

previously fished by the now-retired Amazon Angel!  And best of all, as the result of an arduous legal and political effort, the river will return to its original limited access configuration.  Only three fishing operations will be permitted entry and each will return to its previously defined exclusive regions.  This means that each of the three extensive sections of this enormous river will remain protected from unauthorized sport fishing and commercial fishing operations.  Anglers will enjoy the same isolated exclusivity that made this such a wonderful fishery in the first place.  No netting, no fishing boats from other operations, just superb peacock bass angling.

      In fact, superb fishing may be an understatement.  Since this river has remained effectively closed for several years now, the fishery should be at nearly pristine levels, with plenty of big peacocks that have never seen a net or a lure. So, as great a fishery as this has always been, it will most likely outdo its own impressive reputation in the upcoming 2009/2010 season. 

The Unini holds great numbers of beautiful trophy peacocks in its productive waters.

The superlatives are extensive.  Not only does the Unini produce lots of trophies approaching world-record size, but the number of peacocks an angler can expect to catch each day is among the best of any Rio Negro tributary.  There's more - although known primarily for its big peacocks, the Unini is also home to a big population of hulking red-tailed catfish - up to 100 pounds!  Want more? - the Unini holds gigantic pirarucu (arapaima), feisty pescada (silver croaker), leaping aruana and several other sporting species.  We expect that available spaces will fill rapidly, so make your plans now and get your reservation in place while plenty of scheduling options are available.  We hope to see you there with us on the reopening of this great fishery.

The Blackwater Explorer will fish the central section of the Rio Unini, with charter airplane access.  Prices for this fishery reflect the additional licensure fees now necessary for entry into this exclusive fishery.  Acute Angling also offers economical "Express" trips (overnight access via fast boat from Manaus) to River Plate Outfitters' floating bungalow cabins on the lower river at $4250 per angler.
