Mid-Week Fishing Report: Dec. 14 – 21, 2019 (2 ½ days)

Fishing last week before Christmas.

Week end´s tally (2 ½ days):

Note: this 2 1/2 days report is to rush last weekend’s conditions to our incoming anglers.

Itapará in Dry-Zone N. East -: Last Saturday we received the Sherman group of 8 anglers. They had a slow start having to endure some significant rain episodes that seriously affected their yields. Water levels are still a bit high; dropping tendency is expected to resume once the rain passes in the next days. Please see forecast below.

Omero/Maú fishery in Dry-Zone N. East -: Last Sunday we received the Rose group of 6 anglers. They had a great start landing over 500 peacock bass plus a varied mix in the basket including aruanas, pirarucus, piorapitinga, matrinxa, etc. Joao pepino and jigs are the best working lures. Forecast promises that they will be enjoying great fishing conditions until the weekend when some rain is expected.

Today´s Average Water Levels:

in Dry-Zone N. East

Omero lakes and Maú river in Dry-Zone N.East

Itapará fishery in Dry-Zone N.East

Guess work

The Omero lakes and the Maú river present good water levels, dropping and very fishable. Tendency is confirmed by the forecasts for Caracarai, and Barcelos (see below), that show no important rainfall accummulation.

The Itapará river still presents water levels a bit on the high side but fishable, having endured some significant rain episodes during the weekend, water levels have stabilized and dropping tendency is expected to resume shortly, please see forecast below for Rorainopolis and Caracarai.
