Royal Amazon Lodge
The
River - The
Agua Boa River is the Amazon’s first and only fishery
managed to require catch and release and single barbless hooks.
It is also the only river in the Amazon to offer anglers the
only exclusive access fishery in all of the Amazon. Dr. Jan
Wilt has the only lodge or settlement on the river and together
in cooperation with the Brazilian Institute for Protection
of the Amazon, has helped place the Agua Boa into an area of
permanent protection. The Agua Boa is one of the few areas
of the Amazon that you will not see another inhabitant during
your entire stay.
Unlike other outfitters in the Amazon we have invested in establishing
a lodge and outcamps on the river and aim to operate responsibly. We
do not believe in the fish it, destroy it and move on mentality. Anglers
visiting the Agua Boa will experience the best fishing in the Amazon,
but they will be required to fish with single barbless hooks and catch
and release is absolutely required.
The Agua
Boa River is a small clear water river flowing over white sand. The
river begins high in the Mocidade mountains
to its confluence
with the Branco river. The river is absolutely spectacular. It is flanked
by a combination of upland forest, flood forest and savannah with all
of its wildlife still intact. This combination of pristine and varied
habitats makes for both interesting and scenic fishing. It is common
to see tapir, monkeys, manatee, river otters, parrots, toucans, macaws,
anteater, sloths, peccary, agouti…etc.
