BREAKING WATER AT THE OMERO LAKES

 

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 Lico group of 12 anglers in our Floating cabins fishing the mid Matupiri.  They enjoyed good weather conditions with only one minor heavy rain episode, their fish count exceeded the 550 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 Rizzo group anglers exceeded the 100 landed peacock bas per angler in the week.   Roçado fishery in Dry-Zone N. West -: This fishery is in standby status for this week, this week anglers were redirected to Dry Zone N.East. Last week the Lyle group, landed 5 trophies above the 20lbs mark, though they endured heavy rains episodes throughout the week. Water levels reverted the dropping tendency, forecast is improving and river is expected to resume the dropping tendency in the next days.   Omero lakes in Dry-Zone N. East -:   This week after scouting the area we have moved our Floating Suites Nr.3 to the Omero Lakes fishery that present excellent fishing conditions, proving one more time the importance of being able to offer the best available waters in the basin to our visiting anglers, having several private water options to choose from. The Crossland group arrived last Saturday and had an excellent start with 752 landed peacocks within a mixed bag of species including aruanas, pirarucus, etc. Fine weather and good water levels expected in the coming days.

 The Matupiri river in Dry-Zone S. West is dropping  at a good rate, and is expected to present optimum fishing conditions by next week. Rain forecast confirms this (pls. see below forecast for Borba) Water levels in Dry-Zone N.West at our Roçado private fishery are a bit high and have reverted the dropping tendency after 10 days of heavy rain episodes, it is expected to resume dropping next week when the weather conditions are forecasted to improve. The Omero lakes in Dry-Zone N.East present excellent fishing conditions and are expected to continue doing so in the coming weeks.

Above the rainfall forecast for Japura in the area of influence of our Roçado private fishery showing some rain episodes to be expected in the coming days improving progressively.     Above the rainfall forecast for Barcekis in the area of influence of the Omero lakes fishery showing no significant rain episodes for the next days

Find below the accumulated rain report of the last 30 days compared with the historical data, and presented at the left as deviations from this norm (anomalies), further confirming the above tendency.

Water level measurements at the Humaitá station continue to be within the historical parameters as the Itacoatiara station (see below). The Matupiri river is located between both stations. Please see red circle in stations map above. Note: red line are 2019 water levels, the light blue strip is the 15 to 85% probability, the dotted line is the median and the yellow line is the historic minimum

Water level measurements at the Caracarai station (see below) are within the historical parameters . The Omero lakes fishery is down river from this station at the Branco basin, water levels are excellent at this time. Please see blue circle in stations map above.

CHALLENGING WEATHER CONDITIONS IN OUR FISHERIES

 

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 Rizzo group of 7 anglers in our Floating cabins fishing the mid Matupiri.  They endured some rain episodes but had a good start with 286 landed peacock bass, but with no trophies.  They will have to brave some further rain episodes on Wednesday (see Borba forecast below). Water levels are still a bit high and stabilized but the most important factor is the sun warmth impact on water temperature directly related to fish activity, which should normalize by Thursday. Last week the Franceschini anglers landed a 21 pounder and a 19 pounder within a nice mixed tally.   Roçado fishery in Dry-Zone N. West -: Anglers have also been enduring some heavy rain episodes that have stabilized the dropping tendency of this fishery, nonetheless last week´s group have landed several trophies, in their own words: " Just returned from the Roçado river in Brazil with my brother Elliot Weston. We caught some lunkers (largest was 21lbs), and saw larger ones waking in the lagoons and swimming along the sandbars. It wouldn´t surprise me if this river produced a 30lber, but you won´t land as many smaller fish. We caught two of the largest ones with jigs, but the rest on woodchoppers. The 21lber hit in the f1st hour on 1st day on a pink woodchopper (also used to catch my26lber last year). An 18lb hit the jig at a river point, and was the toughest peacock I have caught to date - then another hit the jig at the side of the boat which is always exciting. What was interesting, was the color variety of the large fish - even though they are in the same river with each other." Art Weston Last Saturday we received the Lyle group of 7 at the Roçado with several fly fishing anglers in the group that have had their yields severely affected by the significant rain storms, and the lack of sun.  Water levels have stabilized and are expected to resume their dropping tendency once the storms passes (pls. see Japura forecast below). Note: this fishery is under the strict single hook sportmanship policy.  

Today´s Average Water Levels:

in Dry-Zone S. and N. West

  Matupiri river in Dry-Zone S.West and Roçado private fishery in Dry-Zone N.West

Guess work

Water levels keep dropping slowly in our fisheries in the Dry-Zone S.West. The Matupiri river has stabilized and is still a bit high, it is expected regain the dropping tendency after the rain episodes of this week. Considering the weather forecast fishing conditions are expected to remain good and improve in the coming days. Water levels in Dry-Zone N.West at our Roçado private fishery are a bit high and have stabilized, several heavy rain episodes in the last days and forecasts imply that they will have little sunshine and water temperature will not rise until the sun shines again, expected for next Friday, this has a direct link with the fish activity and willingness to take the lures.

Water level measurements at the Tapurucuara station (see below) continue to be within the historical parameters as the Tapurucuara station (see below). The Roçado fishery drains directly at this station thus, lower water levels imply that drain tendency should continue after the rain episodes. Please see red circle in stations map above.

Matupiri fishery in Dry-Zone S. West -:   Last Saturday we received the Franceschini exclusive group of 2 anglers in our Floating cabins fishing the mid Matupiri.  Their basket mainly consisted of 102 medium sized peacock bass, sighting several schools of fish predated by abundant botos (pink dolphins). Although visually enjoyable, it had a negative impact on their fishing yields. They enjoyed good weather conditions with no significant rain episodes, water levels continue to be a bit high but very fishable.  Water levels are expected to keep the dropping tendency and some significant rain episodes are expected towards the weekend.
