You will use the Rio Negro Lodge as a home base and depart each morning by Nitro boat or floatplane, returning each night for rest and relaxation. Offering unwavering quality and a commitment to exceptional service, the Rio Negro Lodge delivers a truly unique experience.

About the Peacock Bass:
Called 'tucunare' in Portuguese, the peacock bass is a born ambusher and a ferocious freshwater fish. Interestingly enough, the 'bass' portion of the fish's name is not correct. Tucunare are actually members of the cichlid family (like oscar).

Acrobatic brawlers on a line, they snap 30-lb. monofilament like thread, straighten saltwater hooks, mangle lures and send rods home in pieces. They are almost exclusively diurnal and aren't the least bit sun-shy, hitting most lures at the surface with explosive force. They're not too choosey about baits, but landing them is guaranteed to be one of the toughest freshwater fights you'll ever get in.

About the Bass Boat:
Whether you're a seasoned angler or entering your first tournament, NITRO® Performance Bass Boats will ignite your passion to hit the water. Ranging in size from 16' to 20', they include custom factory matched trailer. The fully loaded and affordable NITRO Performance Bass Boats have wide beams, large fuel capacities, MotorGuide® trolling motors, and Lowrance® electronics. Other fishable features on these high performance boats include huge aerated live wells, rod lockers, deluxe fishing seats and wide-open casting decks.
