Barcelos. The Negro tributaries are all fishable. All Rio
Branco and many Rio
Negro tributaries are all
too low, and may become unfishable if it does
not rain soon. The
Amazon Angel is "trapped" in
the Urubaxi in a 20 mile stretch because of low water
levels;: however, it is now raining and hopefully
tomorrow we should be loose. We have two
(2) Fly-In
Cabin Barges at the headwaters of
the Cuiuini, one (1) on the Shufari and
one (1) as back-up at the headwaters
of the Tapera waiting for rain.
- Mid Río
Negro tributaries (above the waterfalls
of the Jaú, Carabinani, Unini, etc) Water
levels are rising. Fishing should be reasonable for the
next one or two weeks. We have one
(1) Fly-In Cabin Barges past the water falls
of the Unini which will remain another 1
or 2 weeks, since we might be overfishing
the river plus there has been some commercial
fishing.
- Mid South (Igaopacu, Matupiri,
etc) Water
levels are unfishably high which is
normal for this time of the year. We have
already moved our Fly-In Cabin Barges out of
this area.
- South (Roosevelt,
Manicoré, Novo Aripuana, etc) Water
levels are unfishably high which is normal
for this time of the year. We have already
moved our Fly-In Cabin Barges out of this area.
