Rio Marie Lodge

A premier destination for trophy peacock bass fishing

Gallery Image

The Rio Marié is considered one of the most prestigious and exclusive fishing destinations in the world and is globally recognized as the river with the largest average size of peacock bass. The entire approximately 800-kilometer river system is managed on a catch & release basis, ensuring sustainable fishing and exceptional quality of the fish stock. It is one of the largest protected fishing areas in South America and a true fly fishing sanctuary in the Amazon.

Peacock bass are considered one of the most powerful fish that can be caught with a fly rod in tropical waters. In the pristine ecosystems of the Marié River, the fish grow slowly, but reach impressive weights and become extremely aggressive and strong with size. Trophy specimens are known for their explosive attacks and relentless fights, which are among the most intense freshwater fishing experiences in the world. No other river offers a comparable average size of peacock bass, making catching one on the Marié one of the most prestigious achievements in any angler's career.
