The Story

Join Orvis and endorsed partner, Nomadic Waters, for a Brazilian fly-fishing adventure chasing peacock bass. A client once described the Nomadic Waters experience as "fishing with a soul," and we think that sounds just about right. Fishing for peacock bass in the Amazon is an experience in and of itself; these are wild and aggressive fish—perfect predators, and they fit well into the luxurious landscape of the Amazon jungle. While a challenging fish, peacock are coveted not only for their aggressive nature but their willingness to take a fly. We're confident that you'll love the fishing and be relaxed and comfortable in the stately and modern mothership.

Basecamp is a yacht where you will stage your daily fishing excursions. The Umuarama yacht is 130 feet long and was built with classic Brazilian luxury in mind. With beautiful Brazilian hardwood inlays throughout the ship, this three-level yacht offers extreme comfort and class with plenty of room to roam. Originally designed to hold 23 Guests, the yacht now features single occupancy staterooms customized by Nomadic Waters.

Arrival

Arrive in Manaus Amazonas Airport (MAO) early in the morning, and a Nomadic Waters team member will meet you at the airport and transfer you to the TRYP by Windham Hotel. Sleep in and have breakfast at the hotel before your transfer to the mothership.

Fishing Days

Each day you will board bass tracker boats where your guide will take you to the prime fishing spots throughout the day. At the end of fishing, you'll return to the mothership for the evening.

Departure

Arrive in Manaus in the late afternoon. Enjoy dinner in town and then return to the ship to rest before your 12:00AM departure for the airport.

The mighty peacock bass is the fish that brings anglers from all over the world to test their mettle, and at Nomadic Waters, it is the primary target species. This fish is unlike anything you've ever chased before. It will test anglers of all abilities, but the payoff is life changing. The experience of seeing one of these remarkable fish take your fly, feeling the extraordinary power of its first run, and the team effort involved in bringing it to hand is an adventure you must see to believe.
