A group of four anglers took to the water during this stretch of the season, and the fishing quickly delivered impressive results. One guest joined Pirarucú after completing his time at Rio Marié, extending his Amazon combo journey with a few more days in a completely different fishery.
Over the period, the group landed 143 fish, including arapaima, tambaqui, and arowana. Arapaima once again brought the scale and raw power that define the experience, while an exceptional number of arowana kept the action constant throughout the fishery. Two tambaqui made the week historic. And when it came to the biggest arapaima, a familiar name appeared once again.
River Conditions
Water levels and overall conditions remained extremely favorable, creating an excellent scenario across the fishery.
With the 2026 season entering its final stretch, these conditions continue to give the guide team strong confidence in the opportunities ahead for arapaima, tambaqui, and arowana.

Highlights of the Week
Two Potential Line-Class Records on Fly
Some of the week's most significant moments came from tambaqui. Two fish of 14.5 lb and 16 lb were landed on fly, and both are potential line-class records.
Tambaqui are powerful, selective, and notoriously difficult to bring to hand on fly tackle. Landing one of this size is an achievement on its own. Landing two potential records in the same week shows how special this fishery is.
The catches are now being documented for official IGFA record submission.
