Fly Fishing for Payara at Xingu Lodge in Brazil

January 4, 2020 by untamed No Comments

Deep within the Brazilian Amazon, anglers at Xingu Lodge take on one of the ultimate freshwater predators — the payara. These big toothy fish aggressively attack streamers and test gear as they put on a hard fight and often get air in battle. Scientific Anglers presents some of the first fly fishing video footage available of anglers fishing these waters. The Kayapo people are just now sharing this destination with the angling community, and we proudly present some great footage of anglers taking on payara in the jungle waters of the Rio Xingu.

Untamed Angling Announced Xingu Lodge — A New Operation for Fly Fishing for Giant Payara

November 5, 2019 by untamed No Comments

MANAUS, Brazil (November 5, 2019) — Untamed Angling is pleased to announce Xingu Lodge — a new destination for jungle fly fishing. Located on the Rio Xingu in the Brazilian Amazon, Xingu Lodge will focus primarily on fly fishing for giant payara.

Payara, one of the ultimate jungle predators, are known largely for their sizable teeth and aggressive behavior. For many years, Untamed Angling sought to find waters where fly anglers could target these remarkable fish and find true trophy payara.

“We searched tirelessly for the ultimate destination for payara,” states Rodrigo Salles, partner and CEO of Brazil Destinations for Untamed Angling. “It turned out that the best location we could find was on the Rio Xingu — a river completely protected on indigenous land by the Kayapo people and very close to Kendjam. It was an exciting secret they were holding, and we are thrilled that they are sharing this special place with us and our guests. It is an exclusive destination with world-class fishing.”

Untamed Angling has exclusive access to these protected waters, where payara are known to reach more than 20 pounds. Additionally, Rio Xingu’s clear waters are ideal for fly anglers who want to target payara with a range of fly fishing techniques and also target additional species such as peacock bass, wolf fish, and more.

Untamed Angling is currently undergoing an exploratory season and working on a new lodge in preparation of their 2020 season. Xingu Lodge has easy travel logistics, and accommodations will include comfortable double occupancy wood cabins with box spring beds, en suite bathrooms, hot water, electricity, satellite WIFI, and delicious food. The camp is located on the banks of the Rio Xingu and looks out over a gorgeous rapid and pool.

About Untamed Angling:

Founded in 2001 by Marcelo Pérez, Untamed Angling takes a unique approach to destination fly fishing by combining fly fishing in exclusive areas with a significant social benefit to local populations and the preservation of natural resources. This model project allows Untamed Angling to explore the best areas for fishing while supporting local communities, cultures, and ecosystems.
