Akuani Floating Camp is a floating mobile operation on the Tomo River and its major tributary the Gavilan River targeting three different species of peacock bass:
1.) Temensis: (Cichla temensis)
2.) Butterflies: (Cichla orinocensis)
3.) Royal or Intermedia Peacock Bass: (Cichla intermedia)
The concept behind the floating lodge allows the outfitter the ability to manage the water for optimum fishing by rotating beats over a stretch of 75 mile stretch of river. This flexibility allows for a dynamic angling program.
The Tomo is a diverse fishery with daily shots at large Temensis peacock bass that can hit the 20 pound mark and above. In addition to trophy sized peacocks, the Tomo, its tributary the Gavilan and the endless back bays and lagoons has a very strong population of two other species of fierce, hard hitting and fighting peacocks for anglers that predicate their success on big numbers of daily landed fish. It’s an action packed and exotic jungle angling adventure, in a remote setting, just what we like in a jungle fishery.
This experience is an opportunity to live and fish in a true jungle wilderness. Your camp will be located on a long white sandbar in a jungle, with the sounds of parrots filtering down through the trees at dawn. For a week your small group of anglers will have this world class fishery all to yourselves, guided by local guides. It’s not uncommon to observe howler monkeys, capybaras, tapirs, and if you are lucky an anaconda or a jaguar. You can fish popping bugs for butterfly peacocks, cast to schools of baitfish being destroyed by hungry giant peacocks, and then dine on a delicious meal for dinner. We guarantee that you will never forget your journey to fish the Tomo River, and the wilderness that surrounds it.
This is a true wilderness fishing camp, far off the beaten path, perfect for those anglers looking for an all-inclusive peacock bass fishing adventure, at a very reasonable price.
