Mid-Week Fishing Report: Sept. 22 – 24, 2018 (2 ½ days)

Great action at the Matupirí river private fishery.

Last week´s groups fishing at the Matupiri river private fishery, obtained a significant mean of 32 peacock bass per angler per day, seasoned with other species as jacundas, bicudas, piranhas, matrinxas and some sardinhas. Water levels are still a bit high but great action is unaffected. Sizes are yet sub standard, and we expect sizes to increase as water levels drop, largest peacock bass weighed 17 lbs.. Last weekend anglers landed 1.322 peacock bass in just 2 ½ days, and they are expected to keep enjoying excellent weather conditions with no significant rain episodes for the rest of the week. Mid water lures are reported to be working best under these conditions.

Dry-Zone S.West

Water levels are still a bit high but very fishable, they are expected to keep dropping. The Matupiri basin is midway between Humaita and Itacoatiara stations (see diagrams below) confirming our forecast.

Note: red line are 2018 water levels, the light blue strip is the 15 to 85% probability, the dotted line is the median and the yellow line is the historic 1969 minimum.

Rainfall forecast for Oct. Nov. Dec. : NOTE that the yellow area at the North affecting the Amazon basin and our fisheries makes us believe that it might have a positive influence (70%) in our fisheries, averting extreme high water levels for the rest of the season.

Weather forecast for Borba, in the area of influence of the Matupiri private fishery shows no significant rain episodes for the rest of the week, supporting the expected water level dropping trend. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.000+ PEACOCK BASS AT OUR MATUPIRI RIVER

PRIVATE FISHERY

3.310 landed peacock bass was the outstanding final number for the Nunes group last week at our Matupiri river private fishery. No trophies larger than 18lbs but hopefully this week they will start appearing as water levels drop. Water levels are a bit high but healthily dropping as expected, rainfall forecasts confirm the tendency for the coming week. Self evident but worth mentioning is that the fishery is granting serious action for visiting anglers. Last Saturday we received two groups that are near the 1.500 fish-count mark (in just 2 1/12 days) and enjoying good fishing conditions with no significant rain episodes in the days to come. Best working lures as reported by the hosts are mid water lures, perversas, yo-zuri, etc.

BREAKING WATER AT THE LOWER MATUPIRI RIVER

Last weekend the Nunes group broke waters at the lower Matupiri river private fishery. Although anglers endured some heavy rain episodes they managed to land 1.229 peacock bass in just 2 ½ days. Water levels are still a bit high but unquestionably fishable. Floating suites will be moving looking for the best places to maximize anglers trophy chances. All anglers are baitcasters and camp host reports that mid water lures are the best option in this scenario.
