vaparrothead Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Well made it back last week and everything you heard about poor fishing is true as far as our group was concerned. Pictures can be found at the following site: http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff192/rgreenwell1_photo/Brazil%2008/ If anybody would like the details PM me and I'd be happy to regale you with the stories of less than ideal fishing in the Amazon. :'( Quote
Jay_G Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I was worried it might be poor based on PBA forums. Sorry to hear that. Quote
vaparrothead Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 What outfitter did you use; where did you go and did you have any luck? Quote
Lauren Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 [tt]I went with my biology class and fishing was included. We went fishing at the Pontinal. Sorry for the misspelling but I do not have the map of the place with me. It was one of my exciting fishing trips but we only got to fish one day. [/tt] Quote

Super User Redlinerobert Posted June 16, 2009 Super User Posted June 16, 2009 Just caught this thread, sorry you didnt fare well. I'm headed back in November, hopefully water conditions are better this coming season. Quote
vaparrothead Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 Which outfitter do you use? I'm going to skip this year but plan on November of 2010; taking my son (hopefully). Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted August 23, 2009 Super User Posted August 23, 2009 I stay at the Rio ***** lodge. best place down there with nice fiberglass bass boats. Quote
Jay_G Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Water is high right now from what I was told last week. Quote
vaparrothead Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 RedLiner: I looked at Rio ***** lodge; too big for me. If I wanna fish with 40 other folks all I gotta do is head for the Potomac. I want to get away from as many folks as I can that's why I pick an outfitter who takes 10-12 max. And yes I asked about the small lodge but they didn't have enough folks to open it when I could go. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted August 27, 2009 Super User Posted August 27, 2009 It may sound big, but in all honesty, I've never encountered another boat out there unless it was on purpose. The comfort of the lodge and convenience of having nice bass boats is a huge plus for me in my book. Most of the other places I found use aluminum skiffs. Quote
vaparrothead Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 OK; that's one thing that makes America great; we can go where we want with who we want. Are you going this year? I'm taking a year off and plan on going next year with my son. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted September 1, 2009 Super User Posted September 1, 2009 All set for November. Quote
vaparrothead Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 Right now water levels are the highest I've seen them in years!! Hopefully there will be a drought of some type that will bring the water down to acceptable levels. Make sure you post how you did when you get back. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted September 8, 2009 Super User Posted September 8, 2009 Right now right now? That's not good. > I potponed last years trip to go in November and can't postpone again.... Quote
vaparrothead Posted September 12, 2009 Author Posted September 12, 2009 Current reports say water is high, which is expected but seems to be falling so here's hoping you'll be OK. Make sure you post report after you get back. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted October 26, 2009 Super User Posted October 26, 2009 Sounds like water levels are at a 10 year best. Full report upon my return. Quote
Jay_G Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I am hearing the same thing Redline. Sounds like you may have a trip of a lifetime coming up. Good luck Quote
