Fredrik’s report:
We are now back from our fantastic adventure in the Amazon rainforest! We started our fishing week with a one-hour flight in a small propeller plane from the bustling city of Manaus to Barcelos, a small village on the banks of the Rio Negro.
There, we were taken directly to the large riverboat Kalua, which started its journey upstream within minutes. During our week, the Kalua traveled in stages a total of 200 kilometers upstream, allowing us to constantly fish in new areas.
Challenging fishing due to high water levels.
Unfortunately, the water level of the Rio Negro was very high due to unusually heavy rainfall in the weeks before our arrival. Fishing was therefore somewhat challenging, but we still managed to catch several large fish.
Quality over quantity
Even though the daily catch quantities fell far short of expectations, some impressive specimens were hooked.
How about peacock bass weighing 18, 14.5, 13, 12, 11, and 10 pounds?
And besides?
First-class service and a good atmosphere
The mood in our group of 14 anglers was excellent, partly due to the excellent service on KALUA, as the food and drinks were first-class. In addition, our guides really gave 100% so that we have a chance at big fish – and they really succeeded!
A great experience in the nature
Not to be overlooked is the fantastic nature experience, where close encounters with caimans, dolphins, parrots, and giant otters create lasting memories.
Additional information and new date for January 2024.
As always, such a journey whets the appetite for the next adventure, and I’m already looking forward to the jungle week next year.
