Fly fishing and angling in the heart of the Amazon Jungle is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Join Kelley Moen as she travels deep into one of the most remote regions on Earth, chasing trophy fish while exploring the unmatched biodiversity of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. From the crystal-clear waters of the Iriri River to unforgettable sight fishing for peacock bass, this journey goes far beyond fishing…it’s a rare cultural immersion into the world of the Kayapó people.
The Kayapó are one of Brazil’s most influential and resilient Indigenous tribes, known for fiercely protecting their ancestral lands from environmental threats. Through this expedition, Kelley witnesses firsthand how the tribe preserves its traditions while acting as guardians of the Amazon, safeguarding one of the planet’s most vital ecosystems.
As she ventures deeper into the jungle, Kelley experiences the sacred art of Kayapó body painting, where natural pigments made from local fruits and charcoal are used to create symbolic designs that represent identity, strength, and connection to the land. These powerful traditions reveal a deeper story, one of balance between people, nature, and survival in the Amazon rainforest.
This is more than a fly fishing trip in the Amazon. It’s a journey into untold stories, ancient traditions, and the remarkable people who have protected this wild place for generations.
