Amazon Peacock Bass Adventures

Completed in 1998, the lodge was designed to epitomize luxury for up to 36 guests. Spacious and air conditioned, the main lodge spans 5,000 square feet beneath a verdant jungle canopy. The lodge serves as a hub for fine dining and fellowship while the private cabins form spokes for solitude. Located on paths winding through the lush rain forest grounds of the Rio Negro Lodge, the cabins feature air conditioning, queen-sized beds, private baths with hot water, walk-in showers, a sitting area and a covered porch. Beautiful views. Absolute comfort. The property incorporates handcrafted woods, slate floors and thatched roofs, creating dramatic beauty against the exotic jungle backdrop. And our guests will enjoy resort-level amenities like daily laundry service, a private beach and fine dining.

 

The Rio Negro is approximately 40 kilometers wide at the lodge, offering nearly endless trophy bass fishing in the sloughs and backwaters where the monster fish are caught. Fishing is conducted in state-of-the-art Nitro bass boats with 90hp Mercury outboards, with two anglers and an experienced Brazilian guide enjoying the greatest new top water fishing available in the world today!

Most of the people who come to South America in pursuit of these fish are hard-core largemouth bass anglers. It makes perfect sense - peacock bass are legendary for hitting topwater baits all day. For most largemouth anglers, the topwater bite is fleeting, usually lasting a short time in low-light conditions or only during specific times of the year. But here, in the rain forest, the topwater bite rules, and peacocks will hit a topwater bait throughout the day.

 

There is nothing in the world like the heart-pumping experience of a fish blowing up on a topwater bait. Actually seeing the fish boil, chase and try to kill something on the surface is, to me, the biggest thrill there is when it comes to bass fishing. It is a primal experience, watching predator attack prey, and in the jungle, such a primal place in its own right, it is only fitting to take peacock bass using surface baits. This trip is a must-do for any bass angler. Despite the lengthy travel, it is worth it the first time you watch one of these fish come out of their jungle lair and destroy a bait. The fishing is world-class, and the food and accommodations are second to none.
