Envy you that adventure! Was in Manaus for a few days in '01 on an official visit to the Brazilian jungle warfare school. I am a product of South Louisiana, but that is a truly unique combination of heat and humidity. You have the same sodden look we did! We spent one day on the river - interesting because of the confluence of the upper amazon (think Mississippi River muddy and the Rio Negro which is clear). For a stretch miles long the two colors can be cut with a knife. The amazon's pink dolphins were working that stretch in pretty large numbers. Looks like a blast.

Just discovered the fishing forum today! Great pics....looks like an incredible trip. Once I get back to Africa a time or two, I think this is the next trip I'd like to try. Just to experience the Amazon would be worth it!

It is absolutely worth it. I'm going back next year. I'm trying to make it a bi-anual thing. I've been blessed to fish a lot and a lot of different places in shore and off( North America) and nothing even comes close to peacock. Make 30 lb snapper feel like sissies.
