Brazil Fly Fishing Travel

The Brazilian Amazon has emerged as one of the most diverse and compelling frontiers in fly fishing, with destinations like Rio Marié, Kendjam, and Pirarucú each offering a completely distinct experience 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. The result is a collection of programs that showcase the Amazon in its purest form — wild, untouched, and rich with opportunity for anglers seeking something far beyond traditional freshwater fishing. 

Rio Marié is widely regarded as the premier destination for giant peacock bass, with an immense protected watershed in the upper Rio Negro producing some of the largest fish in the Amazon on a consistent basis. In contrast, Kendjam offers a more technical, exploratory experience on the clear-water Iriri River, where anglers sight-fish on foot for a wide variety of species including peacock bass, pacu, and payara in a truly untouched setting. Completing the trio, Pirarucú delivers one of the most unique pursuits in all of fly fishing — targeting massive arapaima in a protected reserve, where anglers cast to rolling fish in shallow lagoons and flooded jungle. 

Many anglers choose to combine two or more of these programs into a single trip, creating a comprehensive Amazon experience that highlights the full range of fisheries, environments, and species found within this extraordinary region.  Untamed Angling’s proven experience developing fly fishing operations deep inside virgin jungle areas, complete with high end services and refined fishing techniques, is not only refreshingly new to the current Amazon scene, it is revolutionizing the way refined traveling anglers look at an Amazonian angling experience.
