Week 11 - September 8-15, 2019 News

The great payara fishing remains a highlight as our friend Breno Ballesteros landed four payara! This is quite the accomplishment, because these fish are tricky to catch and even harder to land. Breno's friend Flavio landed two payara.   

Weather: The weather this week was hot during the day with occasional quick rain during the afternoon and at night. Temperatures ranged between 33-35°C.   

River Conditions: The water levels on the Iriri River have been dropping since the very beginning of the season and are now at very low water conditions. This means we often move to find good spots throughout the system, but this also makes for ideal wading and sight fishing.
