Not at all my experience. Went to the Amazon last year and I describe it more like deer hunting...not for fish, but for good water (like fishing for speckled trout in chocolate milk). We had to hike back to oxbows (we werent there in the rainy season) to find good water. Took a fortune's worth of big topwaters and only caught ONE on topwater. That took me a while to get over. After two days, we saw some local Indians with a boat full of peacocks. They were using cut bait on bamboo poles...bream fishing on LSU lakes style. Swallowed my pride and caught as many as we wanted, but couldnt get them to swing at a topwater, buzz bait, plug, or anything! Although tipping a jig with cut bait did work well too.
