Terri catches a Peacock Bass Video
Tony P videos Terri catching a small peacock bass on a big topwater doing the woodchopper rip early in the morning. Note the guide calls the fish out before it even hits the plug somehow spotting it in the dark brown-black waters of the Rio Negro
Fishing in the Jungle
Sometimes fishing the Amazon is open water and sometimes you have to go right into the jungle after the fish! During our 2012 trip, end of February and early March, unseasonable rains upriver had the Rio Negro running high and up into the jungle!
Piranha and Other Fish
Peacock Bass aren’t the only fish you’ll catch from the Amazon River and tributaries. Piranha and other toothy fish are common along river channels.
Missing the Amazon
This is Dan Kimmel reporting in. I haven’t been back to the mighty Amazon River, specifically the Rio Negro, since February 2012 and I sure do miss the jungle and those amazing peacock bass!
