THE AMAZON CUTTER

The Amazon Cutter, the latest addition to the fleet of fishing opportunities from Amazon Fishing Adventures will be the primary mother-ship for the 2006-07 season. Built in the summer of 2004, this totally new floating hotel is now available for your Peacock Bass fishing comfort. No more bunk beds in small rooms. Each bedroom on the Amazon Cutter has twin beds, extra storage spaces for luggage and a lockable compartment for your valuables. Each bedroom has a roomy, private bath, and the rooms have individually controlled air conditioners.

Located on the remote Unini River, the Owner of the Cutter is one of only two operators with permits to fish this river. The fishing pressure is light and the areas are rotated in order to preserve and improve the fishery. As a “catch and release” operation, the staff of the Cutter take great pains to assure that all of the hooked fish are released in good health to fight another day.

For the adventurous peacock bass angler that desires a remote, more intimate setting, away from the large lodges and crowded fishing boats around Barcelos, and for the fisherman that seeks hundreds of miles of productive waters with very limited fishing pressure, look no further than the Amazon Cutter -- located on the remote Unini River.

The Unini River is fast becoming the recognized “ Big Fish River” for its large number of fish that are caught over 10#. If you are looking for a river with small fish and big numbers, this river is not right for you. But if you are after Big Fish and several of them each day, you owe it to yourself to experience the Unini River. Under normal river conditions, you can expect to boat about 30 Peacocks a week per angler over 10#, and you will probably miss or lose twice that many fish.

At the end of the fishing day, a relaxing drink and special snacks await your return to the boat. Later, the spacious dining room will open for your eating delight. Buffet tables will be filled with an array of both American and Brazilian dishes to satisfy the appetites of the most discriminating anglers.

You will be delighted by the spaciousness of the entire facility. The bedrooms are on the lower level along with space for fishing equipment and an area to do repairs on your tackle after an explosive day of fishing for Peacock Bass.

Next, take a relaxing, HOT shower, and then you will want to gather on the upper level where you will find a large seating area, a game table, and a terrific panoramic view of the Jungle.

When dinner is complete, you can again enjoy the large, comfortable gathering room to exchange stories about the day’s activities and the challenges awaiting you tomorrow. Access to the Amazon Cutter will be by charter plane to our airstrip.

Please check out our Price List and Terms and Conditions when planning you next Amazon Fishing Adventure.

Remember, now you can have the flexibility of fishing in the most remote areas of the Amazon on a deluxe, self-contained fishing facility. No more tents or sandy walks to the Dining Room. Everything you need is in one convenient location – all with air conditioning and Hot Showers.

THE AMAZON EXPLORER

The Amazon Explorer was completely renovated in the summer of 2004 – providing better rooms, higher ceilings, more efficient air conditioning, safer access to fishing boats, modern bathrooms in each bedroom with Hot and Cold Showers. The most popular area is the large sitting deck on the upper level of the boat where clients can enjoy the beauty of the night sky and the panoramic view of the Jungle.

Each season, the Explorer will be located on a river where we have found great fishing. As water conditions change, it will be moved to the most productive areas. The design of the Explorer allows it to reach the most shallow parts of the rivers where great fishing is often found. But, as with any fishing, there are no guarantees.

The Amazon Explorer will serve as a back-up camp in case water levels or fishing conditions change radically on the Unini River – or if the Unini River Camp is filled to capacity. Primarily, we want to have alternative locations to send you if we have a repeat of the previous two seasons where conditions were very bad for several weeks. We will announce weekly the location of the Explorer when it is being utilized.
