“Tremendous experience!! Our guide worked very hard to make our trip a success, and the camp staff made the experience wonderful. More than I expected, though I would like to have caught a 20 pounder … “

” I just got back from my second annual trip with River Plate. Had a great time. The four guides at the Upper Jufaris were great, we had Gee Gee and his expertise at wood-chopper tuning is genius level”

Dry-Zone N.East (see map below) is fishing at its finest. Yet again last week groups with 39 anglers beat the 5.000 landed peacock bass mark.
Last weekend at our Itapará private fishery, several trophies above the 17lbs benchmark were caught and released, with the (up to now) season record of 24lbs.. Simultaneously the Jufaris and Xeruini produced plenty of graceful aruanás, massive arapaimas, and several other species supplementing the peacock bass tally and enhancing the blissful experience. Fishing conditions are good, no rain during the weekend and forecasts show no significant rain for the rest of the week in our fisheries.
Water levels are high, closed for the season, which is normal for this time of the year.
