Fishing near Tefé, Amazonas

Tefé sits on the banks of Lago Tefé, where the Rio Tefé — a 450 km blackwater river — meets the Rio Solimões in the heart of Amazônia Central. The lake, roughly 25 km long and 2–5 km wide, anchors the local fishing scene, with tucunaré, pirarucu, tambaqui, and pescada among the most sought-after species. The nearby Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Mamirauá, accessible by speedboat, adds exceptional fishing in flooded forest and lagoon environments.
