Kendjam

Clearwater jungle fly fishing for a variety of species...

Kendjam is a unique, pristine fishery offering over 8 species to target ranging from dry fly fishing for Pacu, popping for wolf fish or stripping a streamer for bicuda. Most fishing is done via wet wading. While they use local boats for transport, the granite plateau through which the river runs allows the anglers to wade safely and comfortably all while you are fully emerged in the Amazonian wilderness. Downstream from the lodge, the river begins to braid out creating several smaller fast water streams.

Fishing

Kendjam offers the first multi-variety Amazon fly fishing destination where anglers can target over eight different species in crystal clear waters. The river system runs over a huge granite base, which facilitates many sight casting opportunities.
