Rio Negro, Brazil
The Rio Negro boasts several IGFA records for Speckled Peacock Bass!
"If you want to catch trophy peacock bass, the Rio Negro in Brazil is by far your best bet. Trek offers two first class operations along the Rio Negro, The Amazon Queen and The Rio Negro Lodge and both are the best in the business. Few operators know the peacock bass like Trek Safaris as we have chased them from Panama to Brazil and can say without a doubt that the largest peacocks in the world are between latitude 3 degrees north to 3 degrees south that extends from Venezuela into Brazil. A trophy peacock is one over 20 pounds and we catch them weekly at both operations. Anglers who have caught peacocks will attest that few fish are as powerful or as fun to catch as the mighty peacock. We should know, since 1973 we have sent thousands of anglers throughout South America in search of the perfect place to land this giant cichlid!! Getting to the Rio Negro in Brazil is easy as we fly direct with Varig Airlines from Miami to Manaus and charter twin engine planes to the town of Barcelos where you are transferred to either the Queen of RNL."
