Rick
Rick wasted no time adjusting to the rhythm of the Marié. By his second day on the water, he connected with a powerful 20 lb peacock bass on the fly rod. The fight was clean, heavy, and decisive, confirming that the fast-dropping water had activated exactly the type of fish the Marié is known for. A textbook moment in the right conditions.

Howard
Howard’s week followed a similar pattern of consistency and progression. On his second day, he landed a solid 20 lb trophy, setting the tone for the rest of the trip. As the week unfolded, he added several more quality fish, including an impressive 19 lb paca, closing out a well-rounded and memorable week on the river.
