Fish for Peacock Bass South America
Peacock bass fishing and going after the butterfly peacock or speckled peacock, is exciting as these freshwater fighting fish are some of the most tenacious fish not located in saltwater. They are natives of the Amazon River of South America and can also be found in the waters of Colombia, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Panama, Singapore and as well as many parts of the US where warmer fresh water can be found.
Peacock bass fishing can only be done in warmer waters and have become an extremely popular freshwater game fish in Florida. They put up a great fight and are great to eat due to their delicate white meat as well.
After first being introduced into the freshwaters of Florida in 1984 by fish and game officials to help eradicate the waterways of other more invasive fish, they are now flourishing. This is due to the warm water conditions in particular areas of Florida. Being a tropical fish, the peacock bass, cannot tolerate lower water temperatures.
Scheduling a fishing trip with one of the many guides in Florida is affordable
and relatively easy. The serious peacock bass fisherman should consider planning a trip of a lifetime to the Amazon River or to the lakes and rivers of Venezuela. This is the ultimate in peacock bass fishing. Imagine fishing with the sounds of the jungle in the background and parrots and monkeys greeting you at every turn.
Flies, artificial or live bait can all be used to attrack the peacock bass. Some believe the most accurate method is to use live bait and fish during the daytime. A fly rod and an extremely sharp hook able to hook this elusive fish on the first hit and then enjoy the fight. A locally trained guide should have most of what is necessary for a memorable peacock bass fishing trip.
