Fishing Conditions: We started the week at the bottom section of our fishing zone, and the Marié stayed at a pretty low level, but started to slowly rise during the middle of the week.

Peacock Bass Caught: 630

Temensis Over 10lbs: 16

Temensis Over 15lbs: 3

Highlight of the Week: Again, fishing the Marié’s sandbars is incredible, and we continued to fish those banks a lot this week. However, the highlight this weeks goes out to Nathan and his brother Matt, who not only managed to catch giant peacock bass while throwing giant muskie flies, but also hooked a big catfish on fly, which came unbuttoned due to a piranha biting the fly line during the middle of the fight. Sometimes the Amazon gives you unexpected visitors, but that is what makes fishing here so thrilling!
