Envy you that adventure! Was in Manaus for a few days in '01 on an official visit to the Brazilian jungle warfare school. I am a product of South Louisiana, but that is a truly unique combination of heat and humidity. You have the same sodden look we did! We spent one day on the river - interesting because of the confluence of the upper amazon (think Mississippi River muddy and the Rio Negro which is clear). For a stretch miles long the two colors can be cut with a knife. The amazon's pink dolphins were working that stretch in pretty large numbers. Looks like a blast.
 
Wow!!! what a fishing trip!.... I congrats you for the fish.... and the time inverted to share with us!
 
Just discovered the fishing forum today! Great pics....looks like an incredible trip. Once I get back to Africa a time or two, I think this is the next trip I'd like to try. Just to experience the Amazon would be worth it!

It is absolutely worth it. I'm going back next year. I'm trying to make it a bi-anual thing. I've been blessed to fish a lot and a lot of different places in shore and off( North America) and nothing even comes close to peacock. Make 30 lb snapper feel like sissies.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
