Roraima, Brazil

Agua Boa Amazon Lodge

FreshwaterAgua Boa River, Rio Branco basin

Only fly fishing is allowed at this lodge on the clear-water Agua Boa River, a tributary of the Rio Branco in the Brazilian state of Roraima, 90 minutes by charter plane from Manaus. Pairs of anglers share a skiff and guide, sight-casting in lagoons, creeks and over sand flats for three species of peacock bass as well as arowana and arapaima, and every fish goes back, caught on a single barbless hook. The lodge takes twelve anglers a week in six bungalows on the river.
