GREAT FISHING AFTER THE RAIN …

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.

Matupiri fishery in Dry-Zone S. West -:   Last Saturday we received the Bell Jr. group of 6 anglers in our Floating cabins fishing the mid Matupiri; Dennis Gardisser is experiencing this fishery for the first time in this Season´s visit.  They enjoyed good weather conditions, their fish count exceeded the 350 landed peacock bass, no significant trophies though. Rain forecast is good and dropping tendency is expected to accelerate with the good weather, water levels are still a bit high but nearing the optimum definitely very fishable.

Last week the Lico group anglers basket included 1.447 landed peacock bass in the week.

Roçado fishery in Dry-Zone N. West -: This fishery continues in standby status for this week. Water levels resumed the dropping tendency, forecast is good and river is expected to enhance the dropping tendency in the next days.

Omero lakes in Dry-Zone N. East -:   This weekend we received the Key group, who enjoyed excellent fishing conditions landing 618 peacock bass in just 2 1/2 days with the largest weighing 18lbs together with a mixed bag that included cachorra, piranha, jacunda, cara-açu, traíra, pirara and pirapitinga. Best performing lures are mid water as reported by camp.

Last week the Crossland group  had an excellent tally with 1.628 landed peacocks, largest of which weighed 18lbs and within a mixed bag of species including aruanas, pirarucus, etc. Fine weather and good water levels expected in the coming days.
