Agua Boa Amazon Lodge

Protected, clear-water and fly fish only. Peacock bass in Roraima, Brazil

Internationally traveled fly fishermen are astounded and charmed by the rainforest canopy, riverfront jungle lodge, and ultimate clear water fly fishing experience when sight-fishing for Brazil’s fiercest fighting fish—the peacock bass. The Agua Boa is the sole fly-fishing-only river in Brazil designated as a single barbless hook fishery to preserve its resource for generations. In this shallow river featuring white sand bars and flats, marauding bass decimate presented flies. In the canopy, you may witness monkeys, macaws, jaguars, capybara, parrots, tortoises and other rain forest sights daily.

Fishing

You predominantly target three species of peacock bass—butterfly, spotted, and temensis. You also fish aruana, arapaima, payara, piranhas, and redtail catfish from the bow of flat bottom jet motor jungle skiffs along white sand river beaches, lagunas, and oxbow lakes.

Accommodation

Seven double-occupancy bungalows and a main lodge overlook a 50-ft swimming pool and the river. Bungalows offer two queen beds, air conditioning, refrigerator, and TV. The main lodge features an airy dining room, large TV/bar area, and game room. Delicious meals are typically served buffet-style.

Gear

Fast-action 7-to 9-wt. rods with tropical weight forward floating lines work well. Sturdy reels with ample backing and a steady drag are key. Corresponding sink-tip lines are also suggested. A complete gear list is provided with confirmation. Contact Frontiers for tackle and fly recommendations.
