The largest peacock bass sanctuary in the world
The Rio Marié is unique to Brazil, with more than 500 miles of exclusive access to the largest catch and release river in a region where rivers are often shared by half a dozen fishing operations. This river system within the Indigenous Territory is expansive and, most importantly, completely protected from its headwaters to the mouth. This territory encompasses a vast range of untouched water, boasting a healthy population of giant peacock bass.
High mobility
The direct float plane access to the highly mobile and shallow drafting vessel, the Untamed Amazon, puts anglers on water that has seen very little angler pressure. Our strategy is to fish new water every day and after each week, reposition the vessel up or down river. Quick and easy access to the prized fishing grounds in a versatile mothership allows us complete access to the entire fishery. When pursuing the smartest fish in the jungle, the peacock bass, utilizing every advantage makes the difference.
Size really matters
The waters of the Rio Marié and its tributaries are scientifically proven to house some of the largest peacock bass in the entire Amazon basin. This fishery holds world record caliber fish, and is a fantastic destination for anglers that are looking to break records, and set their own.
After collecting data over the years, the Rio Marié has demonstrated an average size of speckled peacock bass at 10 pounds, with regular captures of 15 pound fish as well. And if that’s not good enough, there are more fish weighing over 20 pounds than anywhere else in the entire Amazon Negro Basin, or the world, for that matter.
