River Plate Amazon Outfitters 

When some one mentions the Amazon, many things come to mind.  But now add a premium fly fishing destination to those thoughts.  This is the “Wild Kingdom”  of the fly fishing world.  With an amazing number of fish species available, incredible bird and animal life, you never know what you will see next.

Fishing is done from 21’ shallow draft boats with all the handy features; trolling motor, high swivel seats, fishing platforms, and more.  They are also light enough to be poled to maximize sight fishing opportunities.  The shallow draft is what makes this the operation to be with.  At various times the Amazon and her tributaries can become quite low, making getting to the prime unfished water very difficult.  But that is were River Plate Outfitters shines.  They are able to move around under all conditions, thus providing you with the best fishing opportunities.  The ability to bypass low waters is the key to exceptional Peacock Bass fishing.  Sport fishing yachts, commercial fishing boats and even survival fishing must stop where low water prevents passage, and beyond these barriers is where the great fishing starts!  Their highly mobile fly-in floating cabins are 4-6 hours upriver (even in a super fast bass boat) from these fringe locations.  Drawing only 4 inches of water, the floating cabins navigate past shallow water natural barriers in comfort and style.

River Plates’ guides are the best in the business.  Most Amazon outfitters employ poorly-trained, unenthusiastic “boat drivers.”  River Plates’ carefully trained guides are hard core sport fisherman who are intimately familiar with the complexities on Amazon angling.  Many have guided for River Plate for over ten years.  With Thousands of fish boated for clients, they’ll put you onto big numbers of big fish like no one else in the Amazon.

Your floating/traveling lodge is first class, and puts you on the fishing.  The “Train” consists of a shallow draft tug boat, power and fuel floats, staff quarters, kitchen and a roomy dining lounge.  Along with four individual floating cabins that sleep 2 anglers in comfort.  They feature fully ventilated walls, “no see-um” screens with interior curtains, shower, and eco-friendly septic toilet.
