This area of the Amazon Basin produces a greater variety
of large game fish species than any other in the world.
The lodge is an extremely isolated "oasis", which corresponds
to very little pressure and lots of fishing action!
Located in the blue water region of the southeast Amazon,
São Benedito River and its tributaries Azul River and Cururu
River are perhaps the most beautiful rivers in the entire
region, and they are loaded with aggressive fish. The waters,
which vary in depth from 3 to 25 feet and greatly in current
speed and bottom structure, create the perfect environment
for the quiet fishing paradise.
Nowhere else will you find the brilliantly colored fogo
(or fire) peacock bass amongst other common Amazon peacocks,
the butterfly and the speckled. Another slow current loving
resident of the area is the trairão, an ugly prehistoric
looking fish that will tear up all types of lures and go
wild when hooked. In the current, the angler can find the
menacing looking cachorra (or payara), the high jumping
bicudas and the matrinxãs, often caught on spinners and
spoons all along the river. The corvina, which looks like
a freshwater drum, and the pacú, which resemble a huge piranha,
are both commonly caught with diving or sinking lures in
moving water.
Piranha up to 9 pounds is frequently caught on artificial.
Tambaqui averaging 8 pounds each may liven up your fishing
experience, as well. Should you want to go after some real
monsters, try fishing in the evening with cut bait, for
giant 30 to 60 pound catfish. Some examples of these monsters
are: cachara, pirarara, pintado, piraíba, jaú and others.

This region offers anglers a great variety of different fishing
environments. You can choose to fish in the lagoons in the
morning. Then in the afternoon the rapids, or instead try
to get a giant catfish in the deep waters close to the waterfalls.
On the way back to the lodge, you might want to stop next
to the calm water of the river in search of jundiás and capararis.
At the lodge there are roomy and carefully laid out 16 - foot
aluminum bass boats. They all come ready to fish with 25-hp
motors, electric trolling motors, comfortable swivel seats
and very knowledgeable guides. The guide controls the boat
and the cooler is stocked fully with ice, refreshments and
lunch.
These
are some of the attractions found at the Thaimaçu Lodge. The
fishing program will be especially designed for you every
evening, depending on your interests.
