Sight Fishing for the Colorful Peacock Bass
Peacock Bass have capture the imagination of the fly-fishing world and have developed a very loyal following of fly-fishermen who make the annual sojourn to Brazil for a week of explosive strikes and unstoppable runs. It is a landscape of endless angling possibilities.
Our Peacock Bass operation places a high degree of emphasis on sustainable fishing with barbless hooks as well as catch and release fishing. Our approach to fishery management insures that anglers will enjoy explosive, productive Peacock Bass fishing throughout the season.
The River
The Agua Boa River is the Amazon’s first and only fishery managed to require catch and release and single barbless hooks. The Agua Boa Amazon Lodge is the only lodge or settlement on the river and, together in cooperation with the Brazilian Institute for Protection of the Amazon, has helped place the Agua Boa into an area of permanent protection. The Agua Boa is one of the few areas of the Amazon that you should not see another inhabitant during your entire stay.
The Lodge
This lodge is located on a quiet stretch of the Agua Boa river. At the lodge, clients are attended by a friendly Brazilian staff. We have kept the size of the lodge small to afford anglers a great expanse of fishing water and to insure that the atmosphere at the lodge is a pleasant one. For those of you that have traveled on houseboats with 14-20 bass fisherman crammed into a small space, the attraction of the Agua Boa Amazon is an obvious one. It is the small family atmosphere and sheer elegance of the lodge that have made the Agua Boa Amazon a success.
