Rio Marie fly fishing peacock bass Brazil
The Rio Marie (Rio de Gigantes) is located inside a far-reaching Indigenous Territory, approximately 500 miles northwest from Manaus. Manaus is the operation’s base point and the most important city in Brazilian Amazon.
The fishing operation has access to an area of more than 2 million hectares. This untouched environment has more than 800 kilometers of of waterways, more than 180 known creeks, 60 lakes, and three major tributaries.
LOCATION
The Rio Marié is born in the Northwest corner of the Brazilian Amazon near the Colombian border. It is a tributary of the upper Rio Negro which has the largest drainage of “black” water in the world. Covering approximately 710,000 km² of land the area is one of the most preserved regions of the Amazon Rainforest.
The fishing grounds encompass a vast array of virgin waters which boast a healthy population of giant peacock bass. For anglers, this translates into the very real opportunity to consistently hook and release much very large peacock bass on the fly.
The high level of protection in the Indian Territory that surrounds Rio Marie’s has ensured the area is almost completely un-impacted by modern man. This is a wild, remote and stunning area with an extraordinary mass of unique flora and fauna.
