Pirarucú Lodge Fishing Report 2025 | Over Two Meters of Pure Power Week 7 | October 1–9

This stretch at Pirarucú Lodge brought together anglers from across the globe, all drawn by the challenge of connecting with the giants of the Mamirauá Reserve. The atmosphere was lively and full of energy, with every day delivering remarkable moments on the water.

Fishing was strong from the start, producing several massive arapaima and a continued run of tambaqui that seem to grow larger with each passing season. The variety of species and the consistency of the action kept everyone engaged, as anglers experienced both the intensity and serenity that define Pirarucú’s jungle waters.

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT

The defining moment came with the capture of a colossal 230 cm arapaima—an encounter that demanded strength, precision, and patience in equal measure. Another remarkable story came early in the period, when a pair of visiting anglers achieved a rare “jungle slam,” landing arapaima, tambaqui, and arowana in a single day.

Moments like these capture the essence of Pirarucú: wild, unpredictable, and deeply rewarding for those who approach it with respect and persistence.

LOOKING AHEAD

As water levels hold steady and clarity remains excellent, conditions are ideal for continued success. The coming period promises more encounters with true Amazon giants and the kind of memories that stay long after the last cast.
