RIO MARIE - BRAZIL

The Travel: Guests fly to Manaus Brazil where they overnight and enjoy the city. Tours and other activities can be organized for those interested. Groups leave early the next morning for the domestic airport in Manaus. The private charter to the live-aboard boat takes about 3 hours.

The Lodge: The lodge is actually a live-aboard boat named the Untamed Amazon. Guest stay 2 per room, all of which are equipped with en-suite bathrooms, filtered water, and a/c. The boat has several decks, equipped for gear storage, social areas, dining room and jacuzzis. Drinks and food are served in the common area, dining room, and sometimes on a nearby beach.

The Fishing: Clients fish 6 days on the Rio Marie, its tributaries, and the many lagoons which attach to it. The mother-ship moves each day so new water is constantly explored. Peacock Bass are the main quarry, and more trophy fish exceeding 20 pounds are found here than anywhere.

Untamed Angling has fishing operations throughout both Bolivia and Brazil. They are famous worldwide for having sought out some of the most exotic and high-quality fishing experiences in South America. They are also known for their exceptional hospitality, offering luxurious accommodations, 5-star food, and amazing service.

The Untamed Amazon is home for the week, and has been built for both adventure and comfort. Guests sleep two per suite, each equipped with their own bathroom and shower, filtered fresh water, air-conditioning, ample storage, and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. There are three decks on the boat; the first is the operational section, the second floor with eight guest suites, and the third with an outdoor social area, kitchen, and indoor dining room.

Throughout the fishing week, the mother ship will move each day. This means that anglers fish new water constantly. And, with more than six hundred miles of exclusive waters, there is plenty of room to explore new lagoons, tributaries, and stretches of the river feeling like you are always in new waters.

Most all of the Amazon basin has Peacock Bass. This includes the countries of Brazil, Colombia, Guyana and Ecuador. And although big fish can sometimes be encountered in all these destinations, nowhere in the world are more big Peacocks caught than the Rio Marie. Since 2015 they have amassed fifteen world records, and in the past three consecutive years have landed the largest Peacock Bass in the all-tackle category; but all caught on the fly.

Anglers fish two per boat, and are accompanied by an English-speaking guide and native boatman. The boats are twenty feet in length, with casting decks fore and aft allowing for two anglers to fish at once.

Anglers will fish throughout the water column depending upon the conditions and time of day. This might mean large poppers in the early morning and evening, and large streamers presented on intermediate sink-tips throughout the day. The lodge provides all hard tackle, although guests are welcome to bring their own.
