In the Amazon Basin fishermen brings tons of equipment and expect to pay hundreds of dollars a day, and travel deep into the rainforest in search of virgin fishing grounds. They catch some Piranhas, Bagre, Sabalo or other common species, just for a little fun, without spending a lot of money. Typically, anglers will catch a Peacock Bass or two, some Piranha, Bagre and Sabalo. Most of the Peacock Bass are returned to the water so they can continue to reproduce and restock the waters.
Guisella, a.k.a. The Amazon Fish Angel, as a successful guide enjoys being a role model to younger women in the small towns and villages, who cast envious glances when they see her in charge of a group of male anglers from aboard. She said that being a guide is a tough job but it isnot without risks and annoyances.
