The Rio Marié is a premier destination for anglers seeking trophy peacock bass in the heart of the Amazon. This river system in Amazonas, Brazil, offers an exceptional fishing experience characterized by its vast, exclusive access and commitment to conservation. With over 500 miles of navigable water, it stands as the largest dedicated catch-and-release river in a region where waterways are typically shared among multiple operations. Access is managed through a limited number of high-end, liveaboard mothership operations, ensuring low fishing pressure and pristine conditions. The journey typically begins in Manaus, with anglers transferring via float plane or small aircraft to the remote river system, underscoring its wild and isolated nature.
