  1. Home water? – The Amazon Rivers for the jungle species.
  2. What 2-3 lines do you use the most and why? – Jungle Taper – WF-F ; Most versatile line in the market today for Jungle Fly Fishing. Excel in any kind of Jungle environment, and the short taper turnover big streamers with ease with minimum false castes
    Jungle Taper Custom Tip Sinking – Most versatile sinking line for any kind of conditions. The perfect line for Arapaima, Payara, Dorado and Peacock Bass when not hitting on top. I normally use the full length for a fast action – 10wt rod.
  3. Where would you most like to fish? 
- Anywhere in the virgin and pristine jungle enviro. But if need to mention specifically, Tsimane in Bolivia for Golden Dorado, Rio Marié for large peacock bass and Kendjam for multi-variety species in crystal clear waters and sight fishing.
  4. Two Truths and a Lie. 
1 – The Amazon Jungle is the last and largest undiscovered window we have in the planet for new species on the fly. 2- The more you trust in yourself and have faith the more your fishing days will come better and more enjoyable. Lie: The amazon in full of mosquitos and animals that makes a dangerous adventure.
