The toughest part of fishing for arapaima is setting the hook. When you see the rolling fish, it is usually the fish mid-water or on the bottom that hit your fly.
Similar to hunting the flats and mangroves for tarpon, anglers search the lakes, channels, and rivers for pods of fish. In the shallow bays of the lake, these rolling fish offer more of a sightcasting opportunity than in the deeper parts. Guides and anglers watch for arapaima rising to the surface to gulp air. When hooked, they start to move and then explode into aerial displays and headshakes. Arapaima can grow to over 400 pounds and closely resemble a freshwater tarpon or anĪlligator gar. Pirarucu and arapaima are one and the same.
