AMAZON TRIP REPORT
We felt the trip to Royal Amazon was two days too
long…how many fish does one need to catch?? We will
go back!
The lodge was great, the no-see-ums tough, and the
arawana fish fun to search for and try to catch…I
missed a lot but never got one…the others did.
Caught 200++ peacocks and a large number of double
digit sized fish. The youngest person with us had
never fly fished before…got good by the end of the
week and also caught at least 200 fish.
Over all, the facilities were great and the fishing
fantastic…the only thing they need is better flight
service to Manaus. I broke two cheap 8 wt rods and
found the more expensive Winston, Sage and Loomis
rods held up well. We used sinking line most of the
time….caught a few on poppers and found out the
Peacocks fed on any color and anything that moved
well. BIG deceivers with big heads and eyes worked
great…the guides all differed on how to catch the
arawana …one did jump into a guys boat after a
popper…how about catching one without a hook ????
