The Rio Negro - The Mothership Experience
January & February

The classic jungle fishing experience! There's a reason why the mighty Rio Negro is the Amazon's #1 destination for big peacock bass. Exceptional fishing, luxury single occupancy accommodations, US-made Bass Trackers, and incredible wildlife all make for an extraordinary jungle experience.

What makes this location special?

The largest black water river in the world, and the fifth-largest river by volume in the world, the Rio Negro is bigger than our minds can even comprehend. Imagine countless braids, rivers, streams, lagoons, and lakes all connected side by side. Now imagine that area being 13 miles WIDE! That's the Rio Negro. With plenty of room to explore, this watershed holds many secrets, including the coveted giant Timensis peacock bass.

Group Size:

10 - 12 Guests. 8 single-occupancy and 2 double-occupancy cabins.


The Rio da Luna - Floating Cabin Experience
September, October, November

This remarkable private fishery is exclusive to Nomadic Waters. If you are looking for consistent shots at huge Timensis peacock bass, this is the location for you. Our guests lose count of how many peacock bass they land between 65 cm and 75 cm each trip.
Characterized by small water, this river connects to countless lakes and lagoons that all hold large paca, three bar acu, butterfly, and popoca peacock bass. These are the largest butterfly peacock bass we have ever seen, with 10-pounders landed each week (on poppers!).

What makes this location special?

Three words: Consistent, clear water. The Rio da Lua has extremely consistent flows and runs clear. This makes for the perfect environment for our fish to grow fat and happy, and to spawn multiple times per season guarantees a well-balanced population of species.

Group Size:

8 Guests, double occupancy.
