Venezuela payara fishing - Amazon River, Uraima Falls, South America payara fishing trips

Description

I had just about finished reeling in my Rat-L-Trap, and was already planning for my next cast. Just as the lure was clearing the surface, all hell broke loose as something seized it and rocketed under the boat, nearly ripping the rod from my hands. I looked around, just in time to see a long fish jump three feet into the air, its platinum body shining brilliantly in the afternoon sun. "Payara!" shouted my guide, and the battle was on. Eventually, after both I and the fish settled down, I was able to land my first payara. While it weighed in at just 8 pounds, it provided the thrill of my week and a lifetime angling memory.

While peacock bass have garnered the most publicity as glamour fish of the Amazon basin, the sabre-tooth payara could lay claim as the most challenging freshwater sportfish. Countless broken lines, battered lures, and shattered rods attest to the sheer strength of these menacing predators.

Having evolved from constantly battling intense river current, this fish can perform tarpon-like acrobatics and make the line-stripping runs to rival a big bonefish. But the payara's most unforgettable features are the two long teeth protruding up from its lower jaw. When the payara clamps its mouth shut, these 4-6 inch fangs fit nicely through corresponding sockets in the upper jaw. These great predators attack upward, impaling prey with their fangs and then swallowing them whole and head first.
