Rio Marié 2018 Season Fishing Report Week 5: Oct. 11 - 18

Week 5: Oct. 11 - 18

Rio Marié is the perfect peacock bass destination for couples. The 5thweek was “Couples Week” at Rio Marié.

Weather: During our fifth week, most of the days were rainy, with a few showers and pretty heavy rain at the headwaters, which affected the water levels.Temperatures ranged between 33–36°C.

River Conditions: The river levels rose day after day, but we still had sand beaches and good access to lakes. The streams provided cooler water than the main river.

Fishing Conditions: The river was still pretty low, with water levels rising. This made fishing for butterflies slow. Most of the big fish we caught were from blind casting, but this didn’t make things any less fun.
