Fishery continues to yield an amazing assortment of species, that includes, Pirarucu, Aruanã, matrinxã, pirapitinga, piranha, traíra e bicuda. After increasing a bit due to last fortnights rainfall, water levels are dropping again which has been beneficial yieldwise. Rainfall forecast shows no significant rain episodes in the days to come.

Itapará in Dry-Zone N. East -: Camp is in standby, water levels resumed dropping tendency and camp is moving further upriver towards the best available waters near the fountain head. Rainfall forecast further reinforces positive forecast for next week.
