Agua Boa Amazon Lodge-
Peacock Bass - Brazil
Our best selling trip - hold now for 2008 and 2009.

   The best technique for numbers of peacock bass is fly-fishing. Because of the clear waters on its many lagoons and lakes The Agua Boa Amazon (formerly Royal Amazon Lodge) is ideal for fly anglers. The guides paddle the boats instead of using electric motors while fly-fishing. Sightcasting to large peacocks is exciting. 20-plus pounders are available;15-plus are usually landed daily. Fly anglers will often land over 100 peacocks per day.
   The lodge is remote, 240-miles north of Manaus. It is 100 river miles to any habitation. Exotic animals and birds are seen daily. The best water conditions here are from November first through late February. The air conditioned lodge, has five bedrooms and five bathrooms with showers, satellite TV, hearty meals, swimming pool and free laundry service. A plane is at the lodge when guests are present in case of any medical emergency. The lodge owner and manager speak English.
Includes: Roundtrip air Manaus to Lodge, airport reception, all internal transfers, lodging, meals and free laundry service at the lodge, guided fishing and fishing license. Larry supplies all flies on hosted trips. Fly samples are sent if requested to hosted or non-hosted clients.
