Fly Fishing, Spin Fishing. Sport fishing yachts and commercial fishing boats must stop where low water prevents passage, and beyond these barriers is where the great fly fishing and spin fishing starts. River Plate Outfitters' highly mobile Fly-In Floating Cabins are 4-6 hours upriver (even in a super fast bass boat) from these fringe locations. Drawing only 4 inches of water, Fly-In Floating Cabins navigate past shallow water natural barriers in comfort and style. Wake up every morning next to secluded unfished lagoons! Another option is new 3 storey floating hotel. Her shallower draft and wider beam will allow us to better overcome shallow waters to access low fishing pressure regions. Although the floating hotel is designed to accommodate 20 anglers, it will set a new standard amongst all other available fishing trips as the most spacious and comfortable yacht for a maximum party of 8 anglers pampered by a crew of 14.

Spin Fishing Tackle. We suggest you use our courtesy XPS Rods with Pro Qualifier Low Profile Bait Cast reels; however, if you wish to bring your own, we highly recommend bringing three or four-piece rods. Rods should be long handled and medium-heavy action with plenty of power for hook setting/pressuring big fish and recommended for 1-3 ounce lures. Reels should have a high-speed retrieve ratio. Bring at least two rods and reels, just in case of break. Most anglers prefer to use casting rods instead of spinning models. We supply free of charge 50 LB. Berkley Gorilla Braid.

Lures. Bomber Long A Minnow 6' colour Silver Flash, Luhr-Jensen Big Game Wood Chopper 6-3/4 " Colour: Perch,  Cotton 'Redfin' Cordell 7"-1oz colour Chrome/black. Angling conditions will have you going through a lot of tackle.

Fly Patterns. Popular streamers include 6-inch (5/0) bi-colored, heavily-dressed bucktails in red/yellow, olive/white, black/white, and orange/black. Big Deceivers, Bunnies, Saltwater Zonkers, Clouser Minnows, and other flashy bait-fish imitations all take fish. Big saltwater poppers in colours red/yellow and pearl/olive. Popovic's Silicone Mullet in olive and white is hard to beat. Fly shade seems more important than colour depending upon light conditions. For this reason have an adequate selection of light and dark patterns. We recommend that you bring at least two dozen streamers and eight or ten poppers, hooks should be razor sharp.

Fly Rods. Rods should be fast action models, because they load sinking lines more efficiently and generally have more 'backbone' than softer models. Bring at least two fly rods, because they often break under the 'jungle stress'. Reels don't need to hold a lot of backing because peacocks don't make long runs, but a smooth strong drag is essential. Recommended fly rod is a fast action, 9-foot, 7-10 weight rod with reel.

Fly Lines. Sinking lines are undoubtedly much more effective than floating lines. A Teeny '300 T-Series/Sink Tip' is our number one choice, followed by a Scientific 'Uniform Sink V' full sinker. Also bring a floating line for poppers and sliders. A line with drastic weight-forward taper will handle the wind-resistant poppers most effectively. A small Cotton Minnow Seine is a must to keep your fly line from tangling in the boat's seats, floorboords, rods etc. Peacocks are not leader shy. Most fly anglers use a straight shot approx six feet of 40-50 pound monofilament leader material. You will need a lot of leader material, because of the peacock's extremely abrasive teeth.

Accomodation. Six independent Fly-In Floating Cabins are the ultimate solution for optimizing shallow drafting mobility, comfort and luxury. Our cabins move daily to unfished river segments overnighting along Caribbean-like beaches. Walk-in at any time to comfort from the nearby secluded lagoons to your 10’ X 15’ elegant roomy cabin with private full bathroom. The cabins are fully carpeted, tastefully decorated, and every detail has been carefully considered. Another option is the yacht Blackwater Explorer which features 10 ample 8' x 9' state rooms, each with full bathrooms with showers, a dinning room with an open bar, satellite TV and telephone. All rooms are tastefully decorated with wood panelling finishings and air conditioning. In our spacious dinning room you will be served meticulously prepared four-course meals over linen table cloths. The top deck grill and open bar is the perfect setting to relax with a cold drink under the Amazon sky amongst friends.

General Equipment. Lightweight shirts and pants, wide brimmed hat or cap, a lightweight waterproof jacket, a polar fleece sweatshirt, an extra pair of sandals or sneakers, polarized sunglasses, sunblock, lip protector.

Travel Arrangements. Fishing trips to Amazon will be arranged throughout the fishing season and the packages can be booked according to the client’s preferred dates subject to availability. Customers take interational flight to Manaus and continue there to destination with short flight or with speed boat. After fishing week the plane or speed boat will take the anglers back to Manaus.
