Trip Introduction

The Amazon Roosevelt Lodge is located just upriver on the Rio Roosevelt from the confluence with the Rio Aripuanã.

This eco-friendly and very comfortable jungle lodge provides accommodation right on the Rio Roosevelt with great jungle fishing opportunities and your chance to catch a dizzying array of Amazon species.

The Fishing

Excellent lure fishing can be had here with ‘Yellow’ Peacock Bass, Arowana/Monkey Fish, Bicuda, big Piranha, Matrinchá, Jatuarana, Payara/Vampire Fish, Pirapitinga /giant Pacu and more ….

Fly fishing is a wonderful way to search out many species with amazing results. Most of the fastwater species like Bicuda and Payara will rip line off your reel at a blistering pace and stripping gloves must be worn to avoid cuts and burns. Peacock Bass congregating around the rocky islands and banks of the river will attack flies with abandon.

At the impressive Semauma Falls an hour’s boat ride above the lodge, the Payara action is spectacular and these big sabre-toothed silver missiles can be caught on flies, lures, or drifting live and dead baits. This incredibly beautiful area is studded with boulders and rock gardens with many braids, rapids and falls.

As well as a killer method for catching Payaras also known as ‘Vampire Fish’, cut bait and live bait fishing can be very productive in these two rivers for many species of Cats. Spotted Piranambú, Barbado, Redtails, Jau, three species of Surubim/Shovel-nose Cats, the Piraiba/Freshwater Shark and other interesting monsters of the deep!

Anglers can also try for some huge Piraracú/Arapaima in one of the lakes on dead bait, large lures or flies, but these fish are shy and very difficult to catch here.

The Accommodation

Roosevelt Lodge is constructed totally from sustainable timber and natural resources. There are eight private rooms that can sleep up to three anglers in each.

Easy to get to from the city of Manaus, the gateway to the mighty Amazon and its tributaries. In the State of Amazonas, this very comfortable lodge offers great meals, friendly staff and top service, and being on the river itself, is really close to the action!
