Massive, Powerful, and Beautiful is a perfect description. I cannot overstate those three qualities in these fish enough. I found out about the fishing in Colombia from one of my casting students, Miguel. I ended up teaching him how to double haul with a 9 weight and he ended telling me about Colombian fishing and planting the seeds for this trip.
I fished out of Nimajay Lodge, a fishing camp run by Ricardo Madrinan, a short drive from Puerto Carreno. The lodging may be rustic by some standards but I would certainly recommend them. They are right on the river, have good food, an amazing Spanish speaking staff, and although I only interacted with one guide, Jason, he was great.
5 Species of fish on this trip if you count the three types of Peacocks. I missed a few Arowana on topwater and probably another Piranha species from bite offs.
If you go, say hello for me, and pleeeease bring us pictures! I cannot stop staring at these fish!
