Sportfishing Perú does not provide tackle, so please bring your own. Our type of fishing is casting and spinning from the beautiful black volcanic rocks of the Tambopata River . Please take a moment to read and consider our recommendations. Payara are a strong fish, very fast, with a big.tail and a couple of big canines in the lower jaw and two holes in the upper to receive them. They lives in extremely fast water and take both lures and flies with a savage force.

RODS

Our suggest is at least 3 rods of medium-heavy to heavy action, from 7 ½ to 9 foot.

Bait casting or Spinning. For Fly fishermen a slightly heavier 9-10 weight fly rod is the suggest.

REELS

As the same of the rods, at least 3 reels with a capacity for 200 yards of a 20 pounds line, similar like a Fin Nor 12 or the Penn 6500.

LINE

All kind of lines from 30 pounds to 65 pounds, we prefer the multifilaments like Spider Wire, Power Pro or a simple Dacron. Good leaders and swivels are highly suggest, bring plenty of them.

LURES

All kind of lures like Rapala Magnum, Rapala Countdown, Rebel Fast Track, Spoonbill and bigs windcheater, and all types of lures that swim on fast waters and dives quickly. Because of the dark color of the water, lure's colors like fire tigers, oranges and chartreuses are the favorites.

Plastic lures will be punctured by the teeth of the payara and will lose their action, wood lures work better.

Don't worry about the size of the lure, from 4 ½ inches and up is ok. Take a special look in the hooks, they have to be extra strong.

For fly fishermen: The Payara take a variety of large streamers, but prefer heavily dressed on a 4/0 heavy saltwater tarpon hook. A heavy mono leader tipped with stout tipped is essential.
