Gear for Brazil Peacock Bass.

All collections →

The Brazilian Amazon has emerged as one of the most diverse and compelling frontiers in fly fishing, with destinations like Rio Marié and Kendjam offering distinct angling experiences for peacock bass within the same vast ecosystem. These fisheries operate in extremely remote, protected indigenous and conservation areas, where limited access and strong stewardship have preserved both fish populations and the surrounding jungle. Given its remoteness and technicality, anglers should be prepared with all the essentials before traveling to the Amazon. Let Tailwaters help you with securing the exact gear, tackle, and clothing that is required to maximize your comfort level as well as success on the water. Below ,you will also see recommended assortments of the latest and greatest products we carry in the shop; as well as custom fly selections with flies that your guides will actually use! You can shop below, or give us a call for a private outfitting appointment (virtual or at the shop) and we can assist you in filling your shopping cart.
