Trophy Peacock Bass in the Amazon
Peacock Bass Fishing Brazil
Of all the incredible gamefish in the Amazon basin, the one that has received the most press is the peacock bass. Their remarkable, explosive topwater strike, combined with an astonishing ability to break heavy lines/leaders and straighten even stout saltwater hooks, makes them one of the most sought after species in the Amazon basin. Peacock bass are not a true bass such as the largemouth and smallmouth bass (Micopterus Sp.) found in North American waters, but comprise a genus within the family Cichlidae. Cichlids are a diverse family of tropical fish found primarily throughout Africa, South America and southern Asia. Although all peacock bass species are highly temperature sensitive fish, some have been successfully introduced in tropical areas from Panama to Hawaii. The latest transplants (C. ocellaris and C. monoculus) are happily swimming in many of the major freshwater irrigation channels in Dade County, Florida. No permanent populations of the giant species, C. temensis have ever been successfully transplanted outside of the Amazon basin and Lake Guri.

Plate AnglersRiver Plate Amazon Outfitters has been a pioneer in Peacock Bass fishing since 1992. Over the years, our company has continuously evolved in order to provide our guests with unprecedented levels of services, facilities, comfort and safety. Our experience and high-quality services have made us the top choice of the most prestigious independent U.S. agents for Peacock Bass fishing trips to the Amazon. One of the services that distinguish our Peacock Bass fishing programs from others are our truly unique and highly mobile, deluxe, air conditioned Fly-In Floating Cabins, which we introduced in 1996. Sport fishing yachts, commercial fishing boats and even survival fishing must stop where low water prevents passage. Yet beyond these barriers is where the great Peacock Bass fishing starts! With the Fly-In Floating Cabins, our anglers are able to access these Amazon pristine fisheries like never before!
Although many land-based lodges that offer Peacock Bass fishing in the Amazon are situated past these natural barriers, they have no mobility to seek better water levels. Plus the areas where they are located become rapidly overfished within 2 to 3 hours upriver or downriver. Our Fly-In Floating Cabins, however, move daily to unfished river segments and spend the night along the Amazon’s Caribbean-like beaches. Once our small 8-guest parties arrive in Manaus, they are whisked to camp in one of our three turbo prop Cessna Caravan floatplanes.
Headwaters Safari Camp
Each day, you will explore the pristine Rio Alegria
and its numerous hidden lagoons, oxbow lakes and other
plentiful fish-holding structures with your experienced
guide. The Rio Alegria Headwaters Safari Camp is located
280 miles northwest of Manaus. Our headwaters camp was
designed to provide first-class accommodation and
privacy for those preferring more adventurous settings
and closer contact with the Amazon rain forest. The
locations we will take you to will offer the rare
opportunity to fish pristine waters for trophy class
peacock bass, far removed from the often crowded waters
of the Rio Negro.
This mobile, air-conditioned camp, one only accessible
by float plane, will soon set the “gold standard” and
define the true meaning of Amazon fishing adventure. The
