A big draw to these lakes is the fact that Arapaima is stocked there, the Arapaima is a very sought after fish and with them reaching sizes in excess of 300lb this is a great destination to head to and try and catch one. With the tackle, all provided there are no worries that your tackle will not be up to the job as the guides will ensure that it can handle these tough and hard fighting species.
On the complex, there is a central covered area, which provides a welcome break from the sun and is where you can purchase cold drinks and food. This lake is strictly open for lure and fly-fishing only, as generally live or dead bait fishing is prohibited.
