River Plate Amazon Outfitters operates throughout the 16 million sq Ha of the Amazon Jungle, their flagship operation tows shallow drafting airconditioned cabins throughout a dozen river systems and sets up camp on white sandy beaches depending upon time of year and water levels. This unique concept means that anglers are constantly exploring un-fished waters and the camps are moving every week or so. This is quite obviously a huge advantage over their opposition lodges or house boat operators that can only access navigable waterways and water within a limited range. boat would report sightings of freshwater dolphins, giant otter and black caiman. Depending upon water height we fish the Itapara River, a tributary of the Branco that flows South into the Negro and only then into the Amazon. Not unlike the Zambezi the Amazon and its tributaries flood into the surrounding forest, providing ideal refuge for growing baitfish. The peacocks can be heard smashing their prey deep in amongst the mangrove like root wads. Casts have to be very accurate, at times bouncing the flies off the water surface, skidding them around stumps and into likely looking gaps amongst the timber. Like many commercial fly fishing operations the weeks fishing is rated and sold on the number of fish landed and guides kept an accurate running total. In 2010 our team enjoyed superb fish up to 22lbs on fly, and a total of 994 fish for 8 rods in their week.
