Prime Openings for Peacock Bass Fishing at Agua Boa

Fishing the week of January 17-25, 2026 (2 rods) or Feb. 21-28, 2026 (2 rods)


Get ready for the ultimate fly-fishing adventure! Imagine sight-casting to aggressive schools of peacock bass in crystal-clear waters. At this fly-fishing-only lodge on the legendary Agua Boa River, the action doesn’t stop there, you’ll also encounter a thrilling variety of exotic native fish species, all eager to put your skills to the test. If you’ve never felt the heart-pounding surge of a peacock bass smashing your fly, now’s your chance. These prime season dates are your ticket to an unforgettable experience.

These powerful predators are pure muscle and instinct—relentless feeding machines that lurk in ambush, waiting to explode on a well-presented fly. Casting to them is a pulse-pounding mix of precision and adrenaline, where every strike delivers an intense fight that stays etched in memory long after the trip ends. Over the course of your week, you'll rotate guides daily, exploring new stretches of the river each day. Some days might even take you off the beaten path—bushwhacking through the jungle with your guide to uncover hidden lagoons, where waiting boats open the door to hidden waters few ever reach.

The Agua Boa River is a fly angler’s dream, with its striking contrast of deep, winding channels and vast, shallow white sand flats. These flats are tailor-made for sight casting, offering crystal-clear water and heart-racing opportunities to spot and stalk your target. Every cast holds the promise of an unforgettable encounter.

But this journey is more than just great fly fishing—it’s a full-on immersion into the wild heart of the Amazon. As you drift down the Agua Boa, the jungle comes alive around you. Capybaras lounge lazily along the banks, white-faced capuchin monkeys climb through the treetops, and sleek giant river otters patrol the currents alongside your boat. Overhead, flashes of color from macaws and toucans light up the canopy, while the calls of howler monkeys echo in the distance. From caimans lurking in the shallows to the quiet grace of tapirs and the rare sight of manatees, every moment offers a new discovery. And if luck is truly on your side, you may lock eyes with the jungle’s most elusive predator—a jaguar—a once-in-a-lifetime encounter that will leave you breathless.

Your adventure may take place deep in the Amazon, but comfort is never far away. Perched on a scenic plateau overlooking the river, the lodge features spacious, air-conditioned double bungalows with private bath and shower—perfect for unwinding in style after a thrilling day on the water. Cool off with a dip in the 30-meter pool, sip a freshly made Caipirinha, and soak in the peaceful rhythm of the jungle. With six full days of guided fishing and convenient Saturday-to-Saturday stays, every detail is designed to help you make the most of your time in this extraordinary tropical fishery.
