A Fly FishingAdventure Like No Other

No comments yet

This fly fishing film highlights the Kayapó Indigenous Community and the incredible Amazonian fish  species like peacock bass, matrinchã, bicuda and hoplias aimara caught and landed while angling with a fly rod.

Join Kelley Moen on an unforgettable fly fishing adventure to Kendjam, deep in the Amazon rainforest. This film showcases the pristine waters of the Iriri River, a remote tributary of the Xingu River Basin, home to some of the most incredible Amazonian fish species. With the guidance of the Kayapó Indigenous Community and  Untamed Angling,  Kelley targets peacock bass, matrinchã, bicuda, and hoplias aimara on a fly rod in one of the most isolated regions of the Brazilian Amazon.

More than 500 miles from Manaus, Brazil, Kendjam sits within the Menkgragnoti Indigenous Territory, a designated Ecological Reserve covering 20 million square miles of untouched Amazon rainforest. With crystal-clear waters, incredible biodiversity, and world-class fly fishing, this is a bucket-list destination for any angler.

Watch as Kelley Moen wades the rivers of this wild paradise, landing some of the most sought-after Amazonian game fish in one of the world's last true frontiers.

Long story short

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
