The day after arriving at camp, we kicked off the adventure with a bright and early 5 a.m. start. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, we set out for a full day of fishing on the Tomo River. Right from the get-go, anglers were hooking up left and right, with doubles becoming a common sight. The action was electric, with all three species of peacock bass found in the area making appearances.
Midday, the crew returned to camp for a gourmet lunch, where we swapped stories from the morning's excitement. Re-energized, we headed back out to the water for an afternoon session, chasing trophy-sized peacock bass that tested both our skills and endurance. By evening, we returned to our comfortable safari-style campsite, where another delicious meal awaited us. We ended the day with cold drinks and laughter around a bonfire, trading more stories under a canopy of stars—a perfect close to an incredible day.
Each day that followed brought more of the same: exceptional service from our local guides, mouthwatering meals, and thrilling fishing. While the fishing was relatively physically demanding, it was among the most unique and rewarding any of us had ever experienced. Every member of our group had successful days on the water, landing multiple game fish species. One angler even managed to catch what might be the first freshwater stingray on the fly—a moment none of us will ever forget!
