The Agua Negra River is an important tributary of the Sécure River. This is a stream of clear, shallow waters that run from East to West and offers no wading difficulties. The Lower Agua Negra sector has features similar to a floodplain river (low gradient) but its water is clear and runs slowly. The river meanders through a valley with numerous sandy beaches, deep runs, and cover to hold strong populations of Dorado and yatorana. The high sector of the Agua Negra River is one of Tsimane’s jewels due to its excellent number and size of dorado, pacu and yatorana. This is an ideal place for those anglers who want to sight-cast due to the clear shallow waters and rocky bottom. Fishing in this section of the Agua Negra is done by walking upstream and sight fishing in low waters and prospecting for fish in runs and deep pools. To be successful on these waters you must use a floating line, long leaders and a delicate presentation.
The middle section of the high Sécure River runs from Ushwea village to the confluence of the Chimoro and Sécure rivers. The fishing here is carried out by wading downstream and the means of transportation is with dugout canoes, poled or engine powered. The middle section of the Sécure River is shallow and open, with flats in sandy riverbanks, like the rivers further down on the plain regions. It’s clear waters gradually become stained colored due to tributaries that sweep sediments from the high plateau. The logs, sunken trees and subsurface structure are the perfect ambush points for a large number of big size- dorado.
The Chimoro stream comes down form the same mountain range as Agua Negra River. This is a little crystal-clear stream that holds a large population of average size dorado (up to 15 pounds) and a great deal of yatorana. Its main characteristic is the chance to perform a very entertaining fishing with light gear (rod #5), and small streamers and even dry flies to catch yatoranas of a good size. Moreover, a 12-pound Dorado in such a small stream like Chimoro with a rod #5 turns out to be an unforgettable experience.
