Kendjam Fishing Report, Week 1 – June 9 to 16
The ninth Kendjam fishing season kicked off with a group of seasoned female anglers who have been fishing together for over 24 years. Despite the water level being a little below average for this time of year, the fish were active and hungry. This week’s highlight was an incredible sighting of a black jaguar by the river (unfortunately no photos were captured). Generally, the size of the matrinxas and peacock bass continues to impress, improving year on year.
