01
Açu Peacock Bass
The great trophy of these waters. It hits surface lures with violence and fights to the end. In the lower Sucunduri channels it easily tops 10 kg.
The species that
make the trip
The lower Sucunduri is a black-water sanctuary. Explosive peacock bass, giant catfish and scenic surface fish — for casting and for the fly.
Casting
Surface, mid-water lures and jigs. The classic way to hook the açu peacock bass on the explosion.
Fly fishing
Clear waters and aggressive fish make the Sucunduri a world-class fly destination.
Bottom fishing
For the big catfish: redtail, jaú and piraíba that test your line, rod and arm.

02
Redtail & Catfish
The river's heavyweights. Redtail, jaú and piraíba deliver the brute fight every big-fish angler seeks. Bottom fishing, power and adrenaline.
03
Payara, Arowana & more
Scenic, fast surface fish. The arowana leaps to grab the lure; the payara slices the water like a blade. Perfect for the fly and precise casting between branches.
Responsible fishing
Every fish returns to the water
We operate 100% catch-and-release, with careful handling, barbless hooks and minimal time out of water. That's how the Sucunduri keeps delivering trophies, season after season.
