Amazon River Fishing Report: Peacock Bass and Catfish Action During High Water Season
Tuesday, June 9, 2026 • Duration 03:47
Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Amazon River fishing report straight from the big brown highway cutting through Brazil.
Out here the river is running high and a bit stained after recent rains upriver, but visibility is good enough along the flooded banks and mouth of side channels. Mornings are starting cool and humid, warming quickly into the upper 20s to low 30s Celsius with that classic jungle steam. Light winds, mostly calm on the main stem at first light, with the usual afternoon breeze and scattered thunderstorms building later. Sunrise is right around six in the morning, with sunset close to six in the evening, so you’ve got a solid twelve-hour light window, but the fish are doing their best work in the low light.
Tides only really show themselves down near the lower Amazon and the coastal fringe. Down there, the incoming push is giving a better bite on the rising water around mid‑day, and again late afternoon as the river backs up from the ocean side. On the main freshwater reaches, think “river level” more than tide: the water is just starting to ease off the peak of the flood, which pulls fish out of the deep jungle back toward creek mouths, points, and flooded laydowns.
Peacock bass – our tucunaré – have been the stars this week. Most boats are reporting steady action with numbers of schoolies in the 2–6 pound range, with a few brutes over 10 pounds smashing surface baits along the edges of flooded timber and submerged grass. Small groups are corralling baitfish on current seams and points at first light, then sliding deeper once the sun gets high. A few trophy fish have come from shadowed cuts where a side creek spills into the main river.
Catfish lovers are in luck too. Redtail catfish, piraíba, and smaller species are hitting cut bait and livebait on deep bends, especially where the bottom drops from 10 to 20 feet with a bit of current. Anglers soaking baits into the evening have seen the heaviest action, with multiple fish in the 15–30 pound class and the odd river monster testing gear and backs.
Best lures for tucunaré right now are loud, moving baits. Big pencil walkers and prop baits in bone, firetiger, and peacock patterns are drawing explosive strikes early and late. Once the sun is up, mid‑size jerkbaits and medium‑running cranks in gold, chrome, and natural baitfish colors are doing damage along drop‑offs and submerged points. Don’t sleep on 4–6 inch soft swimbaits and flukes rigged weedless; they’re money around brushy edges and in tighter cover where the trebles hang up.
For bait fishing, fresh cut bait from local forage fish, live small baitfish, and chunky pieces of frozen sardine are the go‑tos for redtails and other big cats. Nightcrawlers and smaller pieces of fish are picking up mixed bag catches of smaller catfish and assorted whitefish along calmer inside bends and eddies.
A couple of hot spots to circle on your mental map:
– Mid‑river sandbars and island points near large tributary mouths, where clear and stained waters mix. These transitions are stacking bait and drawing in peacock bass and schooling predators at dawn and dusk.
– Outside bends with heavy timber and a good drop‑off, especially just downstream of major bends. These are prime for both daytime lurking tucunaré and nighttime catfish, with current bringing food right to them.
Gear up with strong braid, solid leaders, and sturdy hooks – this is the jungle, and everything here pulls harder than it looks.

Amazon High Water: Peacock Bass on the Drop Near Manaus
Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 04:10
Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Amazon River fishing report straight from the middle of the jungle.
Out here around the central Amazon floodplain near Manaus, the river’s high and still holding a good bit of stain. With the wet season easing, levels are slowly dropping, pushing baitfish off the flooded grass and back toward main channels and lagoon mouths. That’s the pattern driving most of the action right now.
Weatherwise, expect classic equatorial conditions: hot and heavy. Daytime air temps are running around the low 30s Celsius, mid‑80s to low‑90s Fahrenheit, with humidity so thick it feels like you’re breathing through a wet towel. Skies are partly cloudy in the morning, building toward heavy afternoon showers and the usual rolling thunderstorms. Light wind early, mostly calm on the backwater lakes, then a bit more breeze as the storms bubble up.
Sunrise comes early on the equator, just after five in the morning, with sunset a little after six in the evening. That gives you a tight but productive window. The first two hours of light and the last hour before dark are absolutely prime. Once the sun gets high, peacock bass slide deeper into shaded timber, under flooded trees, or along the drops where cooler water creeps in.
There’s no real tide this far inland, but you can think of the falling water like a long, slow outgoing tide. As the level eases down off the banks, predator fish set up on the edges of channels, at lagoon mouths, and anywhere a side creek dumps in. Current seams and little points of flooded jungle are holding bait, and that’s where the big ones are sitting.
Recent catches from local guides up and down the river have been solid, not peak-season crazy but steady. Boats working oxbow lakes and side lagoons are reporting 15 to 30 peacock bass a day when anglers can cast accurately and keep at it, with a few fish pushing the 10‑ to 15‑pound mark and an occasional brute bigger than that. Mixed in are piranha, bicuda, and the odd payara in faster stretches, plus plenty of catfish—redtail, piraíba, and smaller species—for those soaking bait on the deeper bends at night.
Artificial lures are still doing most of the damage for peacocks. Big topwater baits are the headliners at first light: large prop baits, loud walking plugs, and chugging poppers in bright colors like firetiger, clown, and bone. Work them hard and noisy, almost violent, with long pauses next to wood and along the edges of flooded brush. Once the sun climbs, switch to subsurface: medium to large jerkbaits, lipless cranks, and sturdy soft plastics on strong hooks. Natural baitfish colors with a flash of chartreuse are putting fish in the boat.
For bait fishing, fresh local offerings are king. Strips of peacock bass or piranha, live small baitfish, and cut fish on heavy bottom rigs are tempting big redtail cats on deep outside bends, especially toward evening and into the night. If you’re targeting table fare, smaller hooks and lighter sinkers around submerged timber and slower eddies are producing steady action on assorted cats and piranha.
A couple of hot spots to keep on your radar:
– The mouths of blackwater lagoons off the main stem, especially where a narrow opening spills into a wider lake. Work both sides of the cut—topwater early, then jerkbaits and jigs as the sun rises.
– Deep outside bends with submerged trees and a clear current line. Cast along the timber for peacocks during the day, then come back with heavy bottom rigs after dark for redtail and other big cats.
If you’re headed out, pack plenty of water, long sleeves, strong wire or heavy fluorocarbon leaders, and stout hooks. The Amazon doesn’t forgive light tackle or sloppy knots, and when one of these jungle bruisers eats, it’ll test every weak link you have.
