This initial foray confirmed the potential of these upper reaches and set the stage for what is to come.

Meanwhile, anglers fishing from the mothership enjoyed equally impressive action, with strong numbers and memorable catches that reinforced once again why the Marié is recognized worldwide as the River of Giants.

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT

Robert
Robert’s first visit years ago was blessed with perfect low-water conditions and giant fish. Last season, he faced high water and tougher odds. This year, persistence paid off. On his very first day back, after landing a solid fish, he connected with a true giant — nothing short of 20 lbs.

William
Many anglers spend years chasing the dream of a 20-pound Peacock Bass and never even see one. For William, a first-time guest, his very first Marié fish weighed 22 lbs. A memory for a lifetime, and a moment that only this river can deliver.

Jess McGothlin
On her first trip to the Marié, Jess joined the opening headwaters camp. She landed several remarkable fish, including a stunning 19-pounder. But the river saved its best for last: with her final cast of the trip, she landed her first 20 lb Peacock Bass.

Pamela Salles
In her sixth consecutive season at the Marié, Pamela Salles set a personal record with her largest Peacock Bass to date — an 88 cm, 24 lb giant. A well-deserved milestone, the result of years of persistence and refinement in the pursuit of these legendary fish, always side by side with her husband, Rodrigo Salles.

LOOKING AHEAD

With water levels continuing to drop, the coming weeks promise even more consistent fishing and access to new stretches of the river. Both the mothership and headwaters camps are positioned to deliver exciting opportunities, and the outlook remains strong for anglers pursuing record-class Peacock Bass.
