The Fishing
The Rio Tuparro – A Paradise for Sport Anglers
The beautiful Rio Tuparro offers an unparalleled fishing paradise for all skill levels. Get ready to battle a diversity of monstrous fish, each offering a unique challenge:
Peacock Bass Extravaganza: Venture into some of the 20+ the lagoons on the Rio Tuparro, where three species of Peacock await you – massive Three Barred/Speckled Peacocks, Butterfly Peacocks and the stunning-colored Royal Peacocks. These aerial attackers readily succumb to topwater lures like propbaits, walking baits, poppers. And jigs, minnowbaits, glidebaits and jointed lures, spinnerbaits, popping and streamer flies will easily tempt these fierce fighters. *Important Note: To protect the Peacock Bass population, please replace all treble hooks with inline single hooks on ALL lures.
Payara: Set your sights on the legendary Payara, the aptly named “Vampire Fish,” a true apex predator inhabiting the main river and its mysterious depths. Utilize diving lures to explore the underwater realm and prepare for explosive surface action with topwater lures too. Payara nearly always stack up in the mouths of the river’s tributaries.
Yamu/Yatorana: The Yamu, a true test of angling skill and endurance, can be enticed with a variety of presentations, making it a versatile and exciting target for any angler. Small lures, streamer and popping flies, and the flashing allure of inline spinners and spoons are all effective methods to tempt this powerful fish. Cast in fast water and under trees for fast and furious action! Be prepared for an electrifying encounter, as the Yamu is renowned for delivering some of the most spectacular and acrobatic fights you’ll experience with any hard-fighting sportfish.
Giants of the Deep: Bait Fishing Bounty For anglers seeking a true test of strength. Try your hand at bait fishing in the main river. Target big catfish species like Surubim, Piraiba and Redtails, and prepare for an epic battle that will leave you breathless.
A Fisherman’s Paradise Awaits: Finding such a vast array of trophy fish in one location is a dream come true. The sheer size and abundance of these species in the Rio Tuparro ecosystem make it a true fisherman’s paradise.
