Amazon Fish Species Guide

A Complete Angler’s Resource to the Amazon’s Most Fascinating Gamefish

The Amazon Basin holds the richest freshwater fish biodiversity on Earth—a living tapestry of apex predators, prehistoric giants, and bizarre creatures found nowhere else. For anglers, it’s a place of legendary strikes, unexpected battles, and fish stories that happen every day. But to fish the Amazon successfully, you need more than just gear—you need knowledge.

Acute Angling’s Amazon Fish Species Guide was created to deliver that knowledge. Built on decades of exploration, field research, and the expertise of professional guides, this in-depth resource gives anglers a deeper understanding of the remarkable fish that define our trips.

Every species profile is crafted with practical fishing advice, accurate biological details, and our firsthand observations—all structured to help you better recognize, target, and appreciate the incredible diversity of Amazon gamefish.
