For multiple chances of giant and exotic catfish, again we recommend the wilds of Guyana and the Essequibo River. The daddy of them all is the Paraiba, and this fish, known locally as the Lau, has been caught to well over 400lb here, way over the official IGFA all tackle record. But there are so many more species, including the Jau, a real dirty fighter, redtail, surubim, flat whiskered, leopards and many more. This is a destination for the adventure angler who is not looking for all mod cons. Over 95% of Guyana is rainforest and after flying by float plane into the jungle you are fishing the best waters from a self-sufficient mobile camp with native local guides who have to know the river inside out, because they live off it.
