Fishing Report: October 12th, 2021
As Water Pours Out Of The Jungle……
Anglers in 2 ½ days land 1510 Peacocks ;104 over 10 lbs incl. two 20 pounders
This fish tally includes only this last Saturday afternoon up to yesterday (Monday) in order to rush to the incoming 4 parties of the conditions they will find on arrival this coming Saturday on our private rivers Matupiri, Igapo-Acu, and Omero lakes selected as the best water levels in the Amazon during this week.
These 4 parties, totaling 30 anglers landed in only 2 ½ days 1.510 fish of which 104 were over 10 lbs, 8 were 16 to 19 lbs and 2 were 20 lbs. Most effective lures were most all topwater’s, jigs and streamer flies (large Mikey fins). Along with peacocks came lesser fighting species but “variety is the spice of life”. These were jacunda, wolfish, aruana, bicudas and piranhas. And, a few monster catfish were landed by those anglers wishing to go deep in the afternoon.

Last week’s parties, Romoic and Kako I , II, each with 8 anglers were excited with landing a total of 2780 peacocks during the 6 day week despite water levels still being a bit high and rainy days as forecasted in our last report.
South West Zone (Matupiri and Igapo-acu, see map below): Water levels which were dropping very slowly will now drop a bit faster, as a consequence of the 10-Day Accumulated Rainfall Forecast shown below. Fish size should be going up day by day as the last water pours out of the jungle as evidenced by the great results in today’s 2 ½ report. This trend should stabilize just 3-5 ft below the jungle line in as much as 10-20 days.
North East Zone (Omero Lakes, see map below): Although fishing has been very good in this area, water levels are high, and will drop more slowly than expected because of the high 10-Day Accumulated Rainfall Forecast shown below.
South West Zone >Today’s 10-Day Accumulated Rainfall Forecasts are for the towns marked in orange below, which affect water levels on the Matupiri and Igapo-Acu. The accumulated rainfall between 1.5 and 2 inches for most towns means that water levels will drop slowly in the region. However, rainfall between 1.5 and 1.0 inches means that levels will drop rapidly, which is now the case but, not last week, as shown below:
- Manicore: 1.35 inches (marked as “1” in the 3 Month Rain Forecast Map)
- Novo Aripuana: 1.53 inches (idem “2”)
- Autazes:1.02 inches (idem “3”)
- Borba: 0.95 inches (idem “4”)
- Humaita: is outside our fishery sphere-of-influence (idem “5”)
Last week’s Accumulated Rainfall Forecast was as follows:
- Manicore: 2.12 inches
- Novo Aripuana: 1.99 inches
- Autazes: 1.31 inches
- Borba: 1.51 inches
- Humaita: is outside our fishery sphere-of-influence

North East Zone >Today’s 10-Day Accumulated Rainfall Forecasts are for the towns marked in green below, which affect water levels on the Omero lakes. The accumulated rainfall between 1.5 and 2 inches for most towns means that water levels will drop slowly in the region, and rainfall between 1.5 and 1.0 inches means that levels will drop rapidly.
- Caracarai: 2.31 inches (marked as “1” in the 3 Month Rain Forecast Map)
- Boa Vista: 1.61 inches (idem “2”)

In the map above, note that our preferred fishing areas for this time of the year, South West Zone and North East Zone are in light blue, which means a slight positive anomaly; ie.: it should receive slightly more rainfall than the expected.
