Hi all, just came back from a couple trips to remote rivers in the Brazilian Amazon... what a trip! Lots of big peacock bass on fly and a big adventure... a trip to remember forever.

Jethro, check out www.amazonflyfishing.com for more info.

By the way, do the traíra resemble any Australian fish? Just curious...

Cheers :)

Nice fish, looks like someone painted them. Never seen any aussie fish with a head like the traira.
