Amazon Trip

[Jeffrey Silvan]

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of going down to Brazil to go after some Peacock Bass in the Amazon. I went to the general Uatumã Reserve area with Nomadic Waters hosted by Matt Miles. The trip was absolutely incredible. Action was non-stop: between 11 anglers, we caught over 1600 fish (so more frequently than one fish every two minutes!!), and I put about 200 in the boat. I caught a few fish in the 9-lb range, but we had a ton of fish caught in the 13-17 lb range across the group.

Beyond the incredible fishing, the operation itself was incredible. Food was amazing, travel was as simple as you can expect, and it was extremely well organized. The guides spoke extremely limited English, but we had cheat sheets for the most important fishing terms, so communication was not an issue.

unbelievable.  I've been seeing instagram posts from a number of folks who went out with nomadic waters.  Jealousy to the highest degree.  Also great writeup!
