Kendjam 2021 Week Fishing Report

For our second week of the season at Kendjam, we had another group of keen anglers itching to get on the water. Three from the USA and two from Brazil. They had excellent dropping water levels combined with beautiful sunny days. This combination of dropping water and sun allowed for some exceptional dry fly fishing for Matrinxas. The largest of the week stretched the tape to 52cm.

We the weather warms like it has it is the best time of year to throw those big, ugly terrestrial flies, like Fat Alberts, Hoppers, Chernobyl Ants, and anything else that floats high and gets an aggressive eat. The slightly stained colour of the water allows us to get a little closer to the fish, casting under trees and close to the banks.

Our guests were excited to land over 400 fish this week, with several healthy peacocks being among them. There are still some open spots later in the season, but not many, so if you are thinking about a trip, act now. Sight fishing in the jungle has never been this fun, especially this time of year.
