Pará, Brazil
FreshwaterUpper Iriri River, Menkragnoti (Mekragnoti) Indigenous Territory — downstream of Kendjam village
Most of the fishing at Kendjam is sight casting on foot along the clear upper Iriri River, in the Kayapó people's Menkragnoti territory: dry flies for pacu and matrinxã, poppers or streamers for peacock bass, wolf fish and payara. Untamed Angling flies its eight weekly anglers by charter from Manaus to the Kendjam village airstrip, then on by boat, and each pair fishes with a professional guide and two Kayapó guides. All fish are released.
June to September
The season follows the low, clear water of the dry season, from mid or late June to late September; in 2026 it ran ten weeks from July 4. Early weeks are best for bicuda and for pacu and matrinxã on dry flies, while the last weeks bring the lowest water for wading and wolf fish on topwater.
