Intro
This guide briefly describes how I caught the thirteen new species. Each section lists the range of sizes of hooks I used, baits, locations, and any extra notes. I hope this quick reference guide is useful in helping you find and catch everything lurking in the Amazon River. Thank you and enjoy! Resolver
Alligator gar
Hook: 3/0 - 12/0
Bait: Live bait
Lure: DEEPX Ocean soft baits - twitch/straight (2-3). Wobbler - twitch/straight (2)
Location: 1 and take the boat a short distance straight ahead to a group of gar. 13 Boat to groups with large fish. You can see gar swimming near the surface. Most fish on radar around 10/0 are gar - they are everywhere.
Apapa
Hook: 4 - 4/0
Bait: Bread, grasshopper, red worm, maggot
Lure: Fly - OKENA Fly N-H30/OKENA Fly ET-W6 - sink tip - lift & drop/twitch
Location: 4, 5, 10
Arapaima
Hook: 11/0 - 12/0
Bait: Trolling with feeder rod, live bait, and bloody salmon
Lure: Soft lure - DEEPX Ocean P4H - Twitching/Straight (2)
Location: Easiest location is between 13 and the edge of the map. Sometimes there are very large ones out there.
Notes: When fishing the 11/0 group closer to the middle of the map I switched the time to 21:30 - this made the water easier to see through. Look for their bright red backside. When I found them there were four near each other. They looped the same small area until I caught them. When fishing the 12/0 group near location 13 I had the time at 19:00 and successfully trolled and fished with soft bait.

Electric eel
Hook: 2 - 2/0
Bait: Leech, red worm
Location: Near 7
Notes: This was the hardest one for me to find. Caught four in a row once I found a group near 7, but didn't find them anywhere else. Specifically - warp to 7, turn left, and run for 30 seconds. It takes about 15 seconds to the first rock, then another another 15 seconds until you pop out of some brush into a small clearing. See the picture of the clearing below for a hint on where to set up a rod pod. Description says they prefer deep, shaded, muddy sections of rivers. I haven't been able to catch one with a lure yet.

Haas - It's been a while since I played UFS1, but on UFS 2, you have to be in normal mode and not realistic mode. The select button on a controller or the "m" button on the keyboard opens the map. If you are in normal mode, there are numbers on the map you can click and warp to. Hope that helps!

Where on earth are those locations you and everyone is speaking of? You guys using a secret map only the chosen people are allowed to see?
