Peacock Bass
The Amazon peacock bass (Cichla temensis) is a formidable predator native to Brazil's Amazon Basin. Renowned for its vibrant colors and aggressive nature, it offers anglers an unparalleled fishing experience.
Habitat and Distribution
These bass inhabit the Rio Negro Basin, the world's largest peacock bass fishery. The Rio Negro, the largest blackwater river globally, stretches over 1,400 miles, providing diverse habitats for these fish.
Fishing Opportunities
For anglers seeking trophy-sized peacock bass, the Curicuriari River is a prime destination. This area has yielded numerous fish exceeding 20 pounds, with some seasons matching the number of 20-pounders to anglers.
Fishing in the Amazon's remote regions, such as the Rio Aripuana, offers a diverse array of gamefish. Protected by natural barriers like rapids and waterfalls, these areas provide anglers with unique and productive fishing experiences.
