With water levels rising, this week brought quieter conditions that demanded precision, patience, and disciplined casting. Even so, the group approached each day with enthusiasm, embracing the beauty of the river and the dynamic rhythm that defines this time of the season.
Although the action was slower, quality fish still appeared, and the atmosphere remained high—proof that on the Marié, the experience is as much about the pursuit as it is about the catch. The week ultimately delivered the kind of rewarding moments that come to those who stay committed, even when conditions shift.

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT
Jerome
After dedicating two full weeks to the Marié, Jerome’s journey was one of persistence and quiet determination. His first week brought steady action and confidence, but the fish he was truly searching for remained elusive. During the second week, with rising waters and slower activity, his resolve never wavered. That commitment was finally rewarded when he connected with a 20 lb trophy, the fish he had been chasing since the moment he arrived—a fitting and emotional conclusion to his extended adventure on the River of Giants.

LOOKING AHEAD
As water levels begin to stabilize, new windows of opportunity are likely to open. The Marié remains a river where conditions shift quickly, but for those who stay patient and adaptable, the rewards can be extraordinary.
