On September 4th I was lucky enough to be back in Peru helping install a water treatment system in a small village in the Amazon Jungle. I am fortunate enough to be in Peru 4 times a year working on community development projects and on this trip I was able to get away on three separate days to do some fishing.
This is the same area BasserDrew, TyGa 10, Sumter Shoalie Fan and I were back in June but at an oxbow lake that was close to the lodge (Palo Verde Lodge, operated by Amazon Expeditions) where I stayed.
I don’t make videos as well as BasserDrew, but here is my first stab at a video – the first of what I hope to be many. Enjoy!

…Congratulations to South Carolina’s Danny Bell (Stumphumper) as he has been chosen River Basser of the Month for September. Danny was chosen for his amazing generosity at the most recent River Bassin Rodeo (Georgia Summer Slam). He not only came from the furthest distance away (Charleston, SC) but brought all the fresh seafood and other equipment needed to make the event a truly memorable one. He cooked up some of the best seafood you have ever had too! On top of that he has been a great resource to the forums and is always willing to help anyone with any question or project. In conclusion, he simply understands what makes this sport great and just “gets it,” and that is what Continue Reading
About the river: The Shenandoah is actually 3 distinct Rivers: The south fork, the north fork, and the mainstem. It’s easier to write about as three separate rivers so I’ll begin this series discussing my favorite (and my ‘home’ water), The south fork of the Shenandoah River.
The Shenandoah figures large in American History and especially the during the years after the Revolution and the westward expansion into the interior. The Shenandoah Valley was never home to vast numbers of indigenous Americans. It was used more as a warring and hunting ground and the river itself as a fishery. Many old Indian fish dams are still present on the river (all three sections) and were used by the colonials and well into the 1800s as well. You’ll recognize them as being Continue Reading
