Destination: Fly Fish Guyana Amazonia
The Trip of your dreams! 5 days and 6 nights with 4 full days of fishing After much field testing and research, we are now able to program flyfishing trips to the remote waters of Guyana, South America. Here we fish the coastal rivers and the watershed of the Rupununi, part of the headwaters of the mighty Amazon river and share many of the same fish species found in other parts of the Amazon Basin. However, the protection policy of Guyana has garanteed the survival of some of the popular tropical gamefish and though the drastic droughts of the past years caused by El Niño did produce a negative effect on the fish populations, it appears as if they have returned now with added vitality and in greater numbers. The Rupununi River is connected to the Amazon Basin by the flooded Pirara Creek, draining from the vast swamps of the Parima or Amaku Lake that are formed during the rainy season and afford easy access across this unique water bridge. As the water recedes after the rainy season, the remaining lakes and ponds that are part of the tributaries of the Rupununi River, hold valuable populations of numerous gamefish. The easy access by boat from Karanambo Ranch affords the sportfisherman a treasure of spectacular sportfish and combines all the values of Catch & Release with the comfort and frontier experience that is an ingredient so vital for a genuine Amazon adventure. A fishing trip to Guyana will not be complete without visiting some of the world renown sites that exist in the vast wild interior of this country, the most spectacular being the Kaieteur Fall, the largest single-drop waterfall in the world. Then there is Georgetown, the " Garden City " of the Caribbean with its decorative white wedding-cake wooden houses and historic colonial buildings.

I just started the lovers of amerindians fund. Send your tax deductible donations to me. The BMW that I have scheduled for purchase will be used to transport the representatives of these indigenous people when they come to San Diego.

First of all, if you must address my saintliness by the second person, it is to be prefixed by "saint"..so in future, it is "saint you" to you. Now: yakasari. Typical american semantic imperialism. Guyana call the place yakusari. BBP man call it yakusari. But nuh..florida peeple got to say "yakasari". And corrupt fatty seven coolie. What is the world coming too?  I will add another jharray claat to your bill for this affront to the purity of nomenclature of Guyanese sites. |

sounds like a memorable trip. I remember some of my relatives going to Madhia on a health mission and it was only accessible by trucks then too. they brought back some incredible photographs. We have such a lush and rich country and yet I never took adavantage of it. |

you are so right! we never took advantage of our beautiful country. I know some of my cousins, never left berbice, except when they were leaving to come abroad!..the first, and only time they saw Georgetown, when enroute to the airport...
i was lucky, I am very widely travelled in Guyana and i am sooo grateful for that! (and not as an adult/ but as a child..) (a few yrs ago i remembre pulling my son out of school for a trip to Australia.. and was worried - until the teacher said.. take him/ the knowledge he will gain will be worth its weight in gold).. so true.. |

Black Bush was fun when it first opened. I taught at Johanna when it first opened. I had my own car so transportation was no problem. We used to have Swaries at the school some weekends with lots of music and dancing. During the big strike the farmers used to supply me with duty free gas for my car. We us to have teachers cricket matches between the four settlements. I still have a couple of rattles from the rattle snakes that the kids killed in the school yard. |
