XINGU Fishing Report 2021 Week 03: Sept 17 - Sept 24

Weather
The weather this week was sunny everyday.

Temperature
31-34C (day) 20-22C (night).

Water Temperature: 30 c

River Conditions
The water level of the Xingu river was stable and still clear colored. 

Fishing Conditions
Vampire fish were very active with short windows of slower fishing this week, with most of the bites coming on heavy sinking lines (500 grains) and big dark flies with trailer hooks. We saw lots of success with the other characters in the river as well, like pacu and matrinxã! We were able to convince them to bite on small fruit imitations.
