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.
Sweetwater Travel Company has been outfitting, guiding and fishing in Brazil since 1992 and has fished and outfitted on most of the major Peacock Bass fisheries in Brazil. Armed with fluent Portuguese, and an intrepid sense of adventure, we have built the Agua Boa Amazon Lodge and helped launch our new River X operation with renowned outfitter Luis Brown. Both of our Peacock Bass operations place 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.
Location: Brazil is the largest country in South America, and it contains most of the Amazon Rainforest. Manaus is the capital of the state of Amazonas and is the hub for peacock bass fishermen traveling to the Amazon. It is a city built upon the wealth of the forest. Its riches have faded since the days of the rubber barons, but the history architecture remains. It is well worth a day visiting the opera house and markets of the city.
Accomodations: Agua Boa Amazon Lodge The Agua Boa Amazon 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.
River X The River X is a backcountry adventure with camps set up on sand bars in air conditioned, tented barges that move up and down the river as needed. It is a great way to experience the Amazon and to access the pristine rivers that provide some of the best Peacock Bass fly-fishing available anywhere.
Season: Agua Boa Amazon Lodge November through April
River X January, February, and March
