The Rio Negro - Mother Ship Experience
Join Blue Quill Owners Pat Dorsey and Dennis Steinbeck on a once in a lifetime fishing adventure to the jungles of Brazil! This trip will be on the Rio Negro river, the classic jungle fishing experience!
There's a reason why the mighty Rio Negro is the Amazon's #1 destination for big peacock bass. Exceptional fishing, luxury single occupancy accommodations, US-made BassTrackers, and incredible wildlife all make for an extraordinary jungle experience.
What makes this location special? The largest black water river in the world, and the fifth-largest river by volume in the world, the Rio Negro is bigger than our minds can even comprehend. Imagine countless braids, rivers, streams, lagoons, and lakes all connected side by side. Now imagine that area being 13 miles WIDE! That's the Rio Negro. With plenty of room to explore, this watershed holds many secrets, including the coveted giant Timensis peacock bass.
This trip is perfect for families, father-son and/or mother-daughters, corporate groups, and fishing buddies who want to share this amazing jungle experience.
