3. Question: Why did you discontinue operating your fixed base lodging facilities?
Answer: Although
the lodges were in a remote low fishing pressure
areas they became quickly overfished 2 to 3 hours
upriver or downriver. Peacock Bass are territorial
and will rapidly shy away if overfished!
Moreover, fixed base lodges cannot seek better (low) water
levels if the river floods.
However, we do still operate occasionally our private three
3000 foot landing strips at the headwaters of the Araca, Cuiuni
and Urubaxi to access our highly mobile Fly-In Floating Cabins.
4. Question: When are water levels at their best?
Answer: Even
within the dry season September through March,
it is impossible to predict 3 weeks in advance
when and where are the best water levels.
Therefore, we optimize every-changing water levels by mobilizing
our six independent Fly-In Floating Cabin over 30 remote river
fisheries protected by natural barriers spread over a 300 mile
radius.
We almost always keep one Fly-In Floating Cabin on "stand-by" or
navigating to the next best water level fishery.
Occasionally, in the middle of the week, we will even wisk our
guest by float plane from one Cabin operation to another, as
far as, 300 miles in the pursuit of optimum water levels.
