This is a short guide listing locations and equipment / bait combos for catching each species from the Amazon River DLC.

Intro

Each section lists the range of sizes of hooks I used, baits, locations, and any extra notes. I hope this quick reference guide is useful in helping you find and catch everything lurking in the Amazon River. Thank you and enjoy!

Electric eel

• Hook: 2 – 2/0
• Bait: Leech, red worm
• Location: Near 7

Notes: This was the hardest one for me to find. Caught four in a row once I found a group near 7, but didn’t find them anywhere else. Description says they prefer deep, shaded, muddy sections of rivers.

• Location: 1 and take the boat a short distance straight ahead to a group of gar. 13 Boat to groups with large fish. You can see gar swimming near the surface. Most fish on radar around 10/0 are gar – they are everywhere .

Kumakuma

Arapaima

• Hook: 11/0 – 12/0
• Bait: Trolling with feeder rod, live bait, and bloody salmon.
• Lure: DEEPX Ocean P4H – Twitching/Straight (2).
• Location: Easiest location is between 13 and the edge of the map. Sometimes there are very large ones out there.

Notes: When fishing the 11/0 group closer to the middle of the map I switched the time to 21:30 – this made the water easier to see through. Look for their bright red backside. When I found them there were four near each other. They looped the same small area until I caught them. When fishing the 12/0 group near location 13 I had the time at 19:00 and successfully trolled and fished with soft bait.

Payara

• Hook: 2 – 1
• Bait: Live bait, leech
• Location: 13 Go directly forward on boat to first group of fish.
