Peacock Bass, River Negro and Branco, Brazil
If it’s a big, bold and beautiful striped peacock bass you are after, there is no better guide than Steve Townson, aka The Fishfinder. Steve has travelled to fish the rivers of the Amazon Basin over two hundred times, and every year he takes groups out from Europe, USA and Japan to enjoy the exceptional predator fishing deep in the rainforest. For peacock bass Steve picks out just one destination for us… the Cabaceiras floating river camp on the Rio Negro and Rio Branco watersheds in Brazil. September to March is the time to fish this super destination, which year after year continues to produce the goods in terms of producing big peacock bass into double figures, along with a whole host of other species. The floating nature of the base means that the motherboat can move to the best reaches, while custom-made shallow skiffs take anglers deep into the jungle to fish remote, unfished locations where the biggest peacocks lurk.
