The third week of June took us deep into the southern Amazon to visit one of our newest operations and the first river of our season to come into shape: the Catete.

If you have been waiting for the right time to fish the Xeruini River Preserve, 2027 may be it.

The Exploratory program was designed to basically go fishing more and do it in some incredible places. Invite some friends and check out some of the world’s most remote rivers. If logistics worked out, then maybe turn it into a new destination.

Exciting news for the future! Bucket List Fly Fishing with the help of NG Tourismo of Manaus Brazil has done it! We have taken our already amazing operation in the Amazon and made it way better (if that was even possible).

A story about 8 guys, buddies, brothers, dads, getting the opportunity to visit both of our signature rivers in a three year span. Both trips were amazing in their own way and these guys give us the opportunity to share not only their stories but their comparisons of both rivers and our operation.

If your going on a fishing trip with us to the jungle, it is likely that Manaus is your stopping off point before heading to the fishing camps. Your trip falls under our care the minute you land in Brazil. Here is everything you need to know about your stay in Manaus.

A true once in a lifetime opportunity to see and catch the world’s largest freshwater fish.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are excited to announce that the 2023 version of the Rubber Path cruise in Santarém, Brazil, is a go and we have the dates.

Join us for an exciting free get-together on zoom. We are going to discuss our upcoming seasons and events and recap some events and outings we have just finished. The highlight of the night will be our January 2023 season at our centerpiece fishing location in the Amazon jungle.

This August we are finally getting another opportunity to have our Care&Share program put to work. This will be our best chance since the outbreak of COVID to have the opportunity to visit several indigenous villages in the heart of the Amazon Jungle.

Terra Preta is a remote village on Xeruini River, state of Roraima, Brazil.

The 2022 Season is going to be amazing. These fish have not seen an angler in almost 3 years and we still have a ton of lagoons that have never been fished on our centerpiece program on Rio Novo

Enjoy a story about the fly that helped transform fishing techniques at Pyramid Lake Nevada in the early 2000’s, how it got its name and the tale of a 24 pound monster Cutthroat Trout it fooled in 2013.

The words “fishing camp” does not even come close to explaining the opportunities that lay-in-wait for our guests. Our remote fishing operations are an Eco-Tourists dream

The Xeruini River Story
Our flagship operation has evolved into the most exclusive fishing trip on the planet

An Eco-Tourist/photographer has visited 112 Countries and is now addicted to fishing

Humble enough to be the silent partner, but respected enough that we want people to know the man we call El Hefe (The Boss)

His accomplishments are as important to the fish as the fishermen in Brazil

It is hard to describe Lucho’s amazing character, and even harder to find words to explain how excited we are to have him on our team. So…. we let him tell his story

The best guide in the Amazon 20 years ago has evolved into a fantastic camp manager with incredible attention to detail.

International travel is about getting good seats and not worrying about a thing
