Brazil - Itapara Lodge
Amazon Peacock Bass
250-miles north of Manaus, Brazil, Itapara Lodge has the best fishing for consistent numbers of really large peacock bass. Our groups consistently land 20 to 24-pounders here and large numbers over ten pounds. Good techniques include live bait, lures and flies. If you'd like to fish an hour or two after dinner, big unusual catfish species are also available.
