RIVER PLATE Amazon OUTFITTERS´ PEACOCK BASS FISHING REPORTS POSTED WEEKLY!
November 28th - November 30th, 2009
Peacock bass fishing has been good. In only 2 1/2days, a total of 1224 peacock bass were landed by 31 anglers, 61 of which were in the 10 - 16 lbs. class, 2 in the 17-19 lbs. class and 2 in the 20-22 lbs. class.
Fishing at the Floating Cabins at the remote headwaters are all good except, for the Urubaxi (see chart). The Black Water Explorer yacht fishing trip on the Negro Channel continues to be the best in 8 years although, not as good as last few weeks since, water levels are very low making navigation difficult to reach the good areas and there is lots of competition.
WATER LEVELS AT OUR AMAZON PEACOCK BASS FISHERIES:
- South: (Marmelos Indian Reservation) Water levels were perfect during July-August and, are now high which is normal for this time of the year.
- Mid-South: (Igoapaçú Indian Reservation) Water levels were perfect mid-October till mid-November and, are now high which is normal this time of the year.
- Mid-North: (above the waterfalls of the Unini Preserve and South Negro tributaries) Water levels at the headwaters of these Negro tributaries except, the Unini Preserve which is closed, are very low. There is even a yacht sanded at the mouth of the Cuiuini. There is little or no rain forecasted this week. Historically, water levels should be good for fishing at least until Dec 15th.
- North: (North Negro tributaries) Water levels at all North Negro tributaries continue to be surprisingly low. Two weeks ago, the Negro had the best peacock bass fishing in the last 8 years but numbers are slowly dropping since extremely low water levels and, over fishing from survival, commercial and even sport fishing are causing an impact. Water levels are so low that most yacht fishing must be done south of Barcelos.Water levels are usually good for fishing from Nov 15th to Mar 15th but, this year it started early in late September.
- North-East: (Roraima State) Some of Río Branco tributaries water levels (Preserves: Taperá, Xeurini, Omero, Shufari) are very good which is normal for this time of the year, so we are reserving most of these fisheries for Jan-March. Water levels are usually good for fishing from Nov 15th to Mar 15th.
November 21st - November 23th, 2009
Peacock bass fishing has been good. In only 2 1/2days, a total of 1567 peacock bass were landed by 34 anglers, 65 of which were in the 10 - 16 lbs. class, 2 in the 17-19 lbs. class and 3 in the 20-22 lbs. class.

- Mid-North: (above the waterfalls of the Unini Preserve and South Negro tributaries) Water levels at the headwaters of these Negro tributaries except, the Unini Preserve which is closed, are a high but still fishable towards the month but with many competing yachts!. There is little or no rain forecasted this week so we should be moving the Cabins to the remote headwaters. Historically, water levels should be good for fishing until Dec 15th.
- North: (North Negro tributaries) Water levels at all
North Negro tributaries continue to be surprisingly
low. Two weeks ago, the
Negro had the best peacock bass fishing in the last 8 years but numbers are
slowly dropping since extremely low water levels and, over fishing from survival,
commercial and even sport fishing are causing an impact. Water levels are

The Black Water Explorer yacht fishing trip on the Negro Channel continues to be the best in 8 years because in the last 3-4 years water levels have been high ("El Niño") giving fish time to repopulate. However, fishing on the Fly-In Floating Cabins at the remote headwaters of the Xeurini and Shufaris are even better.

- North: (North Negro tributaries) Water levels at all North Negro tributaries continue to be surprisingly low for this time of the year with some of the best peacock bass fishing in the last 8 years right on the main Negro channel!!. There is no or little rain forecasted this week so water levels should continue to be very good; however, over fishing from survival, commercial and even sport fishing should cause an impact within 2-3 weeks. Water levels are usually good only from Nov 15th to Mar 15th but, this year it started early in late September.
- North-East: (Roraima State) Some of Río Branco tributaries water levels (Preserves: Taperá, Xeurini, Omero, Shufari) are fishable which is also unusual this time of the year; however, water levels are rising due to last weeks heavy rain plus there is a 60% chance of rain forecasted for this week.
