Not all Amazon fishing trips are about peacock bass. Some are about something broader—something wilder. Acute Angling’s multi-species expeditions open the door to a different kind of Amazon experience: one that blends intense fishing action with a deep immersion into the jungle itself. These trips focus on a variety of powerful predators, including the fierce payara, massive Amazon catfish, sharp-toothed black piranha, and other exciting species like wolfish, bicuda, and matrinxã. It’s fishing at its most unpredictable—and most exciting.

At the center of it all is the payara, a razor-fanged predator that strikes with shocking speed and puts up aerial battles that test even the most experienced anglers. Beneath the surface, enormous redtail catfish, jau, and elusive piraíba haunt the river bottom, offering deep, grinding fights that demand strength, patience, and endurance. Between these giants, the river remains alive with aggressive secondary species, providing action from the first cast to the last.
