Payara fish

Payara

March 26, 20251 min read

The payara, often dubbed the "vampire fish," is a formidable predator native to South America's Amazon and Orinoco river systems. Renowned for its distinctive appearance and aggressive hunting tactics, the payara offers a unique experience for anglers and wildlife enthusiasts.​

Physical Characteristics

The payara is easily identifiable by its elongated body and two prominent, saber-like fangs that can grow up to 6 inches. These fangs fit into sockets in the upper jaw, allowing the fish to impale its prey, primarily smaller fish.

Habitat and Behavior

Preferring deep, fast-moving waters below rapids and waterfalls, payaras are ambush predators. They lie in wait, using their sharp teeth to spear passing prey, earning them the nickname "vampire fish."

Fishing the Payara

Angling for payara is a thrilling endeavor. Anglers often use deep-diving lures, but payara are known to strike at shallow minnows, jerk baits, jigs, flies, soft plastics, and topwater baits.
