Pirarucú Lodge Fishing Report 2025 | Hard Work, Big Rewards Week 9 October 20–25

The fishing this period demanded patience and focus, but the rewards were well worth the effort. As the waters shifted and the fish began repositioning, anglers adapted quickly, showing genuine commitment to the chase.

The result was a strong performance across the board, with significant numbers of arapaima landed and consistent action throughout. Among the highlights was a remarkable story of firsts—an angler on his very first jungle trip, and his first-ever fly-fishing experience, landing both a trophy peacock bass and a massive arapaima in the same week. It’s safe to say the Amazon left quite an impression.

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT

David
On his very first jungle trip—and his first time fly-fishing—David experienced a week that most anglers dream of. Landing a trophy peacock bass in Rio Marié and a two-meter arapaima here, his introduction to the Amazon was unforgettable.

Phill
Returning for his second season visit, Phill brought skill and focus to every session. His persistence paid off with more than 15 arapaima landed, a true reflection of what experience and determination can achieve at Pirarucú.

LOOKING AHEAD

With water levels continuing to fall and fish becoming increasingly active, the coming weeks are setting up perfectly for more consistent action and surface encounters. The balance of challenge and reward that defines Pirarucú remains as strong as ever.
