Well, they bailed out the failing banks, they bailed out the bonus-clogged insurance compa-nies, they even bailed out bumbling General Mo-tors. I was sure that all it would take would be one simple phone call to convince our president and his budgetary minions to bail out the fishing industry too. Well, you can picture how far that might have gotten. But, the fishing industry is in just as much trouble as the yahoos who inflicted this recession on us in the first place. People aren’t sure what’s going to happen, so the money they might have spent on TV sets, or new cars, or fishing trips is moldering in the banks that helped cause this problem in the first place. It’s not hard to under-stand the fears afflicting our society. It’s also not hard to understand that outfit-ting fishing trips and maintaining complex and costly fishing operations doesn’t work when there are no anglers signing up. So, in the absence of a

Summer, 2009

government bailout, we’ve decided to take it upon ourselves to create a stimulus package that will help keep our fishing boats afloat (pun in-tended). For two full weeks, from August 1st, 2009 until August 15th, 2009, you can purchase any of our 2009 Brazilian peacock bass trips at 15% off our regular prices. No questions asked - any of our trips where space is available - any time in 2009 - any fishery! As you might imagine, this doesn’t provide the revenues a business needs to thrive or even survive long-term. We hope, however, that it will provide enough of a short-term boost to allow us to pay our guides, to maintain our equipment and simply keep the finest fishing operation in the Amazon intact through these hard times. We know things will get better, but its hard to convince one of our Brazilian staffers that there will be work for them in the future, if our boat is languishing in dock.

day hauling enormous Mekong catfish out of an impoundment literally boiling with them. Most of us cut the day short due to paralyzed arms! From there we ventured north and fished the river headwaters of a giant reservoir. Our target was the elusive but exciting giant snakehead. This was tough fishing but interesting and chal-lenging enough to keep me plugging away. The reward was a trophy-sized specimen and an ap-preciation for this wily adversary. We ended our Thai smorgasbord by fishing a big private lake stocked with Amazon species - pretty ironic, huh? Half a world away and we’re pursuing some of the same fish we know well from our home waters. The difference here was the concentration of different species all in one place and the easy access. I absolutely delighted in floating among huge, rolling arapaima while catching pirapitinga on the fly! What a concept! Thailand sure got my attention! So we’re going back. We plan two exciting exploratories next spring. This time we’re venturing further afield and focusing on wild species in true wil-derness areas. - see page 4 for more info….PR

Our fishing season in Brazil comes to a halt each year in March. For many years (since I’m an inveter-ate fisherman and any excuse will serve) we used to extend our season in Argentina pursuing Dorado. But those fisheries have changed and no longer hold the same draw for me, so this past April I tried some-thing different. I assembled a small group of like-minded, inveterate fishermen (some of them even more fish-crazed than I am) and we headed off to Thailand to sample the fishing in a new destination. Springtime fishing shortage resolved! Not only did we find a remarkable (and rather strange) variety of species available, but we experi-enced an incredible country with enough attractions even outside of the fishing to get me to come back again. And that takes a lot, since I’m usually hard-pressed to find a reason to travel if there’s not a fish at the other end. Thailand boasts spectacular beaches and tropical islands in the south, a modern, attractive city (Bangkok) in the center, and a mountainous, river-studded wilderness to the north - and fish eve-rywhere. We didn’t have to go far to find them. Our first day of fishing was a short van ride from our pleasant downtown boutique hotel. We spent the

Acute Angling Fishes Thailand PAGE 2 VOLUME 11 ISSUE 2

An Editoral ... sort of - Recently, there’s been a lot of talk about the number of fishermen in the U.S. being on the decline. I’ve heard lots of reasons given; today’s kids only want to play video games; to-day’s parents spend all their time working and have no energy left to teach their kids about the joys of nature; our economic decline has made it too expensive. These all ring true to a certain extent, but a recently overheard conversation made me think again. I was manning our booth at a fishing show in a state that shall remain unnamed. The show had gone quiet because the local pro football team was in a playoff game that afternoon. The exhibitors were all milling around, kibitzing with each other. Next door to me was a local fishing magazine publisher with a few easy chairs in his booth. The comfortable seating attracted two officers of the state conservation agency who were a few booths over from him and the threesome promptly became engaged in conversation. Sitting just ten feet away, I couldn't help but overhear their banter. The publisher asked, “What’s going on with Lake —— ? I hear there’s been all kinds of backups at the trailer ramps because the state closed one of the docks.” One of the officers replied, “Yep, the floats were wear-ing out and there was no money to replace them, so the maintenance guys made one good one out of the two.” Well, considering today’s economic situation, that sounded like a pretty reasonable solution to a tough situation, so I just nodded to myself as they continued. The second officer chimed in a moment later with a comment that made me listen harder. “That really pissed me off” he said, “I ended up having to stay later half the time because with only the one dock, these damned fishermen got all lined up and took forever to get their trailers unloaded, just when I was supposed to clock out.” The publisher clucked understandingly, “Yeah, that had to be a hassle”. The second officer responded, laughing, “Well, I fixed that real quick. Once those guys got lined up, since I had to stay there anyway, I started asking for their licenses while they were

waiting.” “So what did that do?” asked the publisher. “Well, it gave me a chance to do the “attitude test”. If they didn’t show the right respect, I took ‘em out of line and went through everything on their boat. There ain’t no one who doesn’t have something wrong, so I got to spend my wasted time writing tickets.” Damned fishermen??? Attitude test??? - now I listened a lot harder. The first officer rejoined the conversation, saying, “Yeah, he cleaned up that problem in two weeks. Once the word got around, the lines just disappeared. Leave it to Al to get things fixed so he could get home on time”. What! Now I was incensed. These guys are supposed to be con-servation officers, not “Attitude testers”! Their purpose is to protect the environment and the fishery so that anglers can enjoy their fish-ing experience. Their job is to make certain that the fish population remains healthy and available for the very anglers whom they were harassing and who pay their salaries. I never expected I’d hear something like that from men whom I always believed were devoted to the natural world and the highest sporting ideals. Attitude test, indeed! Maybe that kind of thinking by our public officers is one more reason why the number of anglers is decreasing. Fishing in the U.S. isn’t a cheap or easy prospect in the best of times. Boats are expensive, licensure and compliance isn’t simple, and finding the time when you can avoid the crowds isn’t easy. If the protectors of our fisheries are adding yet another layer of unnec-essary and arrogant difficulty to the sport, maybe people aren’t fish-ing because its easier to just stay at home. Or, maybe it would be better to just get out of this overly regulated, overly abused situation and fish in the pristine wilderness, where no one will be testing your “attitude”. Thankfully, Acute Angling’s trips not only make fishing simple, pleasant and hassle-free, but they put you in touch with the ultimate fishing adversaries, the fierce fishes of South America. And the only attitude we care about is how much you love fishing.

In the northernmost reaches of Thailand’s forested uplands, where it borders Laos and Myanmar, lies a long forbidden tribal region known as the “Golden Triangle”. Decades ago this area was off limits to outsiders, unless they trafficked in the opium trade. Today’s modern Thailand has eliminated that blight and, in a deal with the tribes, has closed the area off as a national forest. Forbidden then, closed now, it offers a beautiful natural wilder-ness replete with wild water-courses holding southern Asia’s most sought after trophy game-fish, the “Mahseer”. We’ve ar-ranged permission to mount an exploratory journey to fish a pristine small river in its midst. We’ll actually be pursuing two species. The Thai Mahseer is a large-scaled cyprinid fish that can attain weights in excess of 50 lbs while the rarer Golden Stracheyi Mahseer reaches over 30 lbs. They are both known for their hard-hitting strikes and incredibly strong fights. With fly or conventional tackle, anglers enjoy the challenge of making a stealth presentation in clear, freestone rivers,

as they would for trout. Once hooked-up, however, they are rewarded with a fight that’s more like a super-trout on steroids. They are, in short, South East Asia's premier fast-water sportfish. Acute Angling’s Paul Reiss will host and operate this trip in con-junction with famed Thai fishing guide Jean-Francois Helias. Due to

the remote location, only 3 guest anglers can be accommodated on this unique trip. Our planned itinerary is as follows; Beginning on or about March 27, 2010. Day 1 - Arrival in Bangkok. Overnight. Day 2 - Flight north to Chiang Mai. Upon arrival, drive 4 hours to reach national forest. Overnight in a lodge. Day 3 - Overland to river. Half-day of fish-ing. Overnight riverbank camping

Day 4 - 7 - Four full days of fishing. Camping Day 8 - Early AM return to Chiang Mai. Afternoon sight-seeing or shopping. Fly to Bangkok at 9.00 pm. Overnight Bangkok. Day 9 - on or about April 04: Return flight. Access to Bangkok is easy, with innumerable flight options. An-glers should plan to allow extra time to enjoy the amazing sights and experiences that this remarkably cosmopolitan city has to offer.

Two New Asian Explorations

It didn’t take long for me to learn why the Giant Snakehead is Thailand’s most revered still-water gamefish. Not only are these big predators fiercely aggressive hunters, they are also extremely protective fry-guarders. Sound a little bit like Peacock Bass? You betcha! That’s why I’m focused on repeating my first experience, only better. Unlike the Amazon, Thai-land is a densely populated country filled with dedicated fishermen. Thai Snakehead have become wary, much like many of our North American gamefish. So we’re going to go where the locals don’t go. In this case, it means another country entirely. We’re going to use Thailand as our base to access exotic and relatively angler-free Malaysia. Perhaps it will be us who first teaches these fish a thing or two about sportfishermen. In addition to the Giant Snakehead, we’ll also target the rarer Emperor Snakehead and the ever-present, pugnacious Hampala Barb. Malaysian Snakehead are numerous, aggressive and haven’t seen a lure.

Sound more like the Amazon? You betcha! Acute Angling’s Paul Reiss will host and operate this trip in con-junction with famed Thai fishing guide Jean-Francois Helias. Six guest anglers can be accommodated on this unique trip. We won’t be

roughing it here. Our accommodation will be a comfortable eco-lodge resort Our planned itinerary is as follows; Beginning on or about April 4th 2010. Day 1 - Arrive Bangkok. Overnight. Day 2 - We’ll burn off our jet-lag, stretch our lines and exercise our arms with a day at famous Bung Sam Lan, catching huge Mekong catfish. Day 3 - Depart Bangkok and Arrive Kuala Lumpur. Transfer to eco-lodge. Day 4 - 7– Four full days of fishing. Overnights in eco-lodge. Day 8 - Explore Kuala Lumpur then return to Bangkok. Overnight in hotel. Day 9 - Return flight Join us on this exciting adventure.

Besides the great fishing experience, you’ll enjoy the opportunity to visit beautiful Thailand, its exciting capitol, Bangkok and the exotic city of Kuala Lumpur, truly a road less-traveled. Call us now for more information about both of these great exploratory trips. …..PR

season. The superlatives are extensive. Not only does the Unini produce lots of trophies ap-proaching world-record size, but the number of peacocks an angler can expect to catch each day is among the best of any Rio Negro tributary. There's more - although known pri-marily for its big pea-cocks, the Unini is also home to a big popula-tion of hulking red-tailed catfish - up to 100 pounds! Want more? - the Unini holds gigantic pirarucu

(arapaima), feisty pescada (silver croaker), leaping aruana and several other sporting species. We expect that available spaces will fill rapidly, so make your plans now and get your reservation in place while plenty of scheduling options are available. We hope to see you there with us on the reopening of this great fish-ery. The Blackwater Explorer will fish the central section of the Rio Unini, with charter airplane access. Prices for this fishery reflect the additional licensure fees now required for entry into this exclusive fishery.

We Return to the Rio Unini Great News for Peacock Bass Anglers

After a long hiatus, the legendary Rio Unini has been reopened to sport fishing! Even better news, Acute Angling is pleased to an-nounce that our beautiful Blackwater Explorer yacht will provide access to the same exclusive section of this great river that we previ-ously fished in the now-retired Amazon Angel! And best of all, as the result of an arduous legal and political effort, the river will return to its original limited ac-cess configuration. Only three fishing operations will be permitted entry and each will return to its previously defined exclusive regions. This means that each of the three extensive sections of this enormous river will remain protected from unauthorized sport fishing and commercial fishing operations. Anglers will enjoy the same isolated exclusivity that made this such a wonderful fishery in the first place. No netting, no fishing boats from other operations, just superb peacock bass angling. In fact, su-perb fishing may be an understatement. Since this river has remained effectively closed for several years now, the fishery should be at nearly pristine levels, with plenty of big

Amazon Tidbits - News from the RIVER

Even more amazing than the amazing fishes of the Amazon, is the amount of rumor and gossip generated about it. This col-umn will appear from time to time in an effort to report actual news before it evolves into wildly inexplicable fiction.

Peacock Bass Blog - As owner of a peacock bass fishing opera-tion, I spend a good amount of time reviewing peacock bass materials on the internet. As an ichthyologist specializing in peacock bass, I’m amazed (and somewhat infuriated) by the overwhelming lack of accu-racy of the vast bulk of this material. Frankly, most of it is baloney, probably written by people who don’t know a peacock bass from a bass fiddle. Sadly, some of it is outright purposefully misleading, designed to sell substandard trips or to mislead anglers. Although I’d love to clear all this inaccurate junk off the web, it’s just not possible. I decided instead to just provide a source for the correct information. So I’ve started a blog to try to set things straight. I’ve elected to start at the beginning and review the basics. The first four posts so far include; - 1. Peacock Bass - Fishing, Facts and Conservation. 2. What is a Peacock Bass? - 3. Why Go all the Way to the Amazon - When They Have Peacock

Bass in Florida? 4. How to Identify the Species of Peacock Bass The next few posts will home in on fishing tactics and techniques, including what lures work best and when, how to catch them on a fly and of course, how to fish the peacock bass rattle jig. Check out our blog at www.peacockbass.wordpress.com

Rio Travessao Date Change - 2010 - Like the old comedic saw, “there’s good news and there’s bad news. What do you want to hear first?” In this case, the bad news kind of helped create the good news.

The bad news - Well, its been hard to ignore the fact that the reces-sion of 2009 has had an impact worldwide. Unfortunately, the bad news has even reached the most isolated places on the planet. Our Rio Travessao trips, although they may very well be the last bastion of the natural world, have been affected by the actions in the more mundane world of finance and industry. As a result of lower than normal numbers of bookings, we’ve had to adjust our schedule to reflect the economic realities. This great variety species trip will now operate on a four week schedule for 2010 (see page 6 for details). Ah, but there is also good news. Because of the shorter schedule, we benefit from simpler supply logistics and more flexibility. There-fore, we’ve elected to explore new waters in an as yet un-fished stretch of the river. We hope to find new honey holes, new hotspots and perhaps even set some more new world records. Acute Angling Fishing Seminars - Over many years of Amazon travel, fishing and study, we’ve compiled a unique blend of Amazon expertise, scientific insight and fishing know-how. Over the years, some of these interesting facts and awesome photographs have evolved into an entertaining 45 minute presentation geared to sport-fishermen of all kinds. Now we’re making it available to your fishing club, tackle shop or travel group, free of charge Angler’s can enjoy an educational seminar about the world’s larg-est aquatic wilderness and the amazing fishes within it. The Amazon Fishing presentation includes an insightful explanation of how this amazing place came to be and why it is so different from anything we temperate zone dwellers know. Anglers learn about the make-up of the almost 3,000 species inhabiting these strange and unique waters, focusing on the Amazon’s fierce gamefish species and how to experi-ence the excitement of catching them yourself. The seminar is fol-lowed by an open question and answer period. Contact Paul Reiss.

For almost two decades, during any given fishing season, only one airline flew directly to Manaus Brazil. For many years it was Loyd Aero Boliviano, then TAM, then LAB again. In order to ensure that tickets were available for our clients (of course, being airlines, they overbooked), Acute Angling simply purchased adequately sized blocks of tickets for our Brazilian trips directly from the airlines. This also allowed us to con-sistently provide our clients with better pricing than available elsewhere. Last year everything changed. Delta Air-lines entered the fray with a daily flight to Manaus from Atlanta, while TAM revised its Miami to Manaus schedule. For the first time, two options were available for anglers. Simul-taneously, TAM’s new itinerary made their service more complicated than Delta’s, while Delta began using the evening schedule that TAM and other airlines had been using for the past 17 years. Delta’s new route came too late for it to be considered for most of our trips last season. We were also somewhat skeptical when Delta announced their plans, since never before had two com-peting airlines survived simultaneously servicing this route. As the season progressed the number of Delta flights was cut back to four days per week and their service began to look questionable, but now, the dates have remained stable for the 2009/2010 fishing season. As a result of these changes and in the best interest of our clients, we have made the decision this year not to book your travel directly

with TAM. We are now organizing our fishing trips and their as-sociated logistics around Delta’s more accommodating flight schedule. In addition to less complicated itineraries, our clients will realize an added benefit on the domestic end of their travel, since Delta can book your entire trip (domestic and international)

as a single through-fare, generating the best combined rates for your flights. The Delta flight leaves Atlanta late in the day and re-turns to Atlanta at approximately 5:30 AM the next morning, allowing for easy connec-tions back to your home airport, with no ex-tra overnights. Since anglers now have several choices (Copa Airlines also services Manaus), we have contracted with a full service agency to take over all of our Brazil travel schedules and to arrange all of your flights for you, based on your specific travel preferences.

Once you’ve booked your fishing trip with us, one of the friendly and expert gals at Monarch Travel will contact you and go to work on your flight arrangements for the trip. They will have Delta’s best pricing for all dates available, often better than internet op-tions. For those who prefer additional time in Manaus, prefer alter-nate routes, want visits to other cities or simply need extra hotel reservations, choices abound and will all be available for your con-sideration. If you’d like to know more about this new program, please contact me at (908) 431-1668. … Garry Reiss
