Peacock Bass Fishing

overview
Come and enjoy with us and our Amazon partners access to some of the most remote Peacock Bass fishing that can be found on this huge area. Our partners River Plate Amazon Outfitters have been a pioneer in Peacock Bass fishing since 1992. Over these years, they have continuously evolved in order to provide guests with unprecedented levels of services, facilities, comfort and safety.

It is this effort to seek new areas and provide the best service which has lead to the all new remote fly in lodges, which distinguishes our Peacock Bass fishing trips from the competition. Our truly unique and highly mobile, deluxe, air conditioned Fly-In Floating Cabins, have been a roaring success, therefore form October 2011 we have added five similar, independent lodging facilities!

Normal sport fishing yachts, commercial fishing boats and even survival fishing must stop when low-water prevents them from travelling further in to the Jungle. Yet, 6-8 hours beyond these barriers is where the great Peacock Bass fishing starts! With the Fly-In Floating Cabins, our anglers are able to access these Amazon pristine fisheries like never before.

Parties arrive in Manaus, they are whisked away to camp in our 8 pax turbo-pop float plane or wheel charter flight, which is combined with our Express Fast Boat, getting you directly to the cabins and even out fishing the first afternoon. The just wake up every morning in your "Fly-In Floating Cabin" next to a remote, virgin lagoon in the heart of the savagely beautiful Amazon Rainforest ready to do battle with the mighty Peacock Bass
