Popper action at Kendjam!
In these clear waters, it's always exciting to watch these fish rise to the surface to strike a fly.

A beast of a peacock bass!
This hump-headed male was a big one for Marcelo (@jungleangler) several years ago.

Underwater wolf fish!
Perhaps not the most attractive of the species at Kendjam, wolf fish are nevertheless compelling. These prehistoric fish are unique in nearly every aspect, they also thrill anglers with their aggressive behavior.

The slender body of a bicuda allows them to make long, hard runs. These fast moving fish are always fun to fight with a fly rod.

For anglers looking to catch new species that they've never caught before, the Iriri River is a great destination. Payara, bicuda, peacock bass, pacu, wolf fish, and matrincha are just some of the species found in this river.

One of the most compelling aspects of the fishing program at Kendjam is that the water is generally so clear that anglers can target a variety of species by sight fishing. Being able to cast directly to fish and watching them strike always adds excitement to the experience.

If you like fishing for aggressive predators, it doesn't get much more exciting than watching a wolf fish attack a popper! The strikes are fierce from this fish.

If you liked the last two payara posts, you'll likely love this one. While payara are not one of the main species we target, we do sometimes find some good ones, and this giant from our last season was certainly one to remember!

Big, toothy payara are yet another species found at Kendjam. Payara, wolf fish, peacock bass, bicuda, matrincha, pacu, and more — it's amazing how many different species can target on any given day.
