We managed to make it back alive, so did our tubes.

Great trip and pix dphotoco...it appears the waters of the Orinoco are clean and yet slow moving where you were.
Cheers,

Did you catch anything?

MontanaM, We went to a zone near the Meta river, one of the large affluents of the Orinoco. This is a spring fed lake that a few years ago was flooded by the river and received a huge population of Peacock Bass. Hence the still waters.
David,
As a matter of fact we did. We managed to land some where near a hundred of them. But I wasn't the one carrying the water proof camera.
I was using a D200 and the lens to the left in this picture:

No way to get that on a tube and sail away...
As soon as I get the pictures from the other cameras I'll post them here.
Dave.

Browsing through the raw material, I was able to find this pic. With an actual fish on it!
Dave.
That's one big anchor of a lens!
Glad you caught plenty of fish!
