Just wow....Looks like you guys had a great time!

That's awesome Robert. Maybe the greatest freshwater fishing adventure in the world today and just think, you spent the time with your Dad

I fished with Phil Marsteller for 11 yrs before they built the lodge there at the beach. He would give me a boat and cash me up with gear and supplies including additional batteries, gas, oil etc. and turn me loose for a week at a time on different stretches of the Rio *****. Just me and my Hammock Phil would pick me up a week later and drag my rig overnight behind the Amazon Queen and turn me loose for another week in a different area. Made 5 week jaunts at a time and covered new backwater areas with each trip then reported the new lake finds back to his crew and staff each week.

When the water was up, about 50 miles beyond the Forresta area seemed to be my favorite because there were so many different lakes that became accessible if you did a little chopping with a machette.

The young fellow that was with you (Ze') has been with Amazon Tours for many years and is one of their most reliable and dedicated employees. About 15 years ago, I had to do some minor surgery on his hand because one of his clients snatched a couple of the Wood Chopper trebles deep in his palm and damaged some nerves in his fingers....He just smiled and said gitt'r done

Really glad you had a chance to spend the time with your Father and those kind of memories will last a lifetime.
