When the Jungle Takes Center Stage

The week began with a “turbión” (downpour) that temporarily stained the rivers, but as the days progressed, sunshine, warmer temperatures, and steadily improving water clarity transformed the fishing conditions.

Guests from South Africa, Germany, Switzerland, England, France, and the United States experienced a week that combined productive fishing with remarkable wildlife encounters, reminding us that every day in the Amazon offers something unexpected.

Weather

Conditions changed constantly throughout the week, alternating between rain and sunshine before settling into warmer, more stable weather.

Water

The week began with stained water following the turbión. As river clarity improved, fishing conditions became progressively better.

Catch of the Week

An outstanding dorado landed on the Coruya as the river cleared

A Coruya Reward

The week’s standout fish came from the Coruya, where an outstanding dorado was caught after the river began clearing, rewarding persistence through changing conditions.

Memorable Moments

The Amazon Beyond the Fishing

Fishing wasn’t the only highlight this week.

Guests were rewarded with exceptional wildlife encounters, including an incredible jaguar sighting, “tropero” (white-lipped peccary), and “guaso” (brocket deer) quietly crossing the riverbanks, reminders that every day on these rivers offers far more than what happens at the end of a fly line.

Looking Ahead

With more stable weather ahead, we expect river conditions to continue improving as fish settle into predictable holding water, creating excellent opportunities in the weeks to come.
