 We are striving to create the most informative and entertaining
Internet site focusing on peacock bass and other exotic
gamefish species found in South America. Our two prime locations, both the
Araca Camp, which is a very upscale safari-style land-based camp,
and Amazon Yanna Adventures, a luxury 100-foot yacht, are the finest
operations in their class.
More than a decade has passed since our first angling foray to the
Amazon/Orinoco watershed of South America. While researching the
literature prior to this first Amazon adventure, we came across a
rather interesting quote, written in 1911 by explorer and scientist
J. Haseman, one that was a bit unsettling to us.
Haseman wrote - "Fishing in South America is by far the
most dangerous of all forms of scientific exploration…. No
man over fifty years of age should attempt to enter this region."
 Perhaps Haseman had been influenced by reading
accounts of the 1541 expedition to this region by Spaniard
Francisco de Orellana, who described his encounters with
hordes of lady warriors (the name Amazon being derived from Greek
mythology). Fortunately, our initial angling trek into the Amazon/Orinoco watershed
revealed no hordes of blood-thirsty lady warriors and we were so
overwhelmed by the shear beauty and enormity of the area, the hospitality
of the people and the splendid nature of the fishery that we’ve
since returned for a cumulative three dozen visits to this wonderous
region.
Ask the outfitter you might be considering to book your trip with
just how many times they’ve personally fished the area you’re
interested in visiting. More than likely, we know the answer you’ll
be given and we hope you turn to our company, X-TREME
ANGLING for solid advice. We don’t acquire our
information from a brochure, but rather from our own personal experiences
and our constant dialogue with lodge owners and guides throughout
the year.

Our team has years of personal, first-hand knowledge fishing many
of the prime peacock bass watersheds in South
America. We share our experience of seasonal patterns and
climatic conditions to insure that you’ll enjoy optimal fishing
results.
When it’s time to book your peacock bass adventure,
there's no angling booking agency that will offer you as many prime
destinations throughout South America. We've excluded
fisheries whose most productive fishing days have passed them by
and focused on the hottest peacock bass waters in
in the world.
