The Fish
Peacock Bass or Pavon (Cichla)
Peacock Bass lie near rocks or stones but are also known for using sand banks to round up their prey. Their explosive strikes and aerial acrobatics make for fantastic fishing.

Payara or Devilfish (Hydrolycus armatus)
An impressive game fish known for its strength, endurance and aspect (devilfish). The average weight is 10 to 12 pounds but specimen fish of up to 36 to 40 pounds are not rare. The Payara can be found in rapids and fast-moving waters. The strikes are violent and the jumps spectacular. Pay particular attention to how you set the brake on your reel, especially if you’re using braided line…. Otherwise your rod will certainly pay for it!

Piranhas
They can weigh up to 2.5 kilos and put up a great fight.
Other species, such as cat-fish – and in particular the lau lau catfish which can reach 200 kg – are also of interest.

 Fishing Season : Mid-November to end of April
