Its been another lovely sunny week down at Rio Marie Lodge in Brazil, this week saw another 12 anglers who managed to land an impressive 405 Peacock Bass during their week on the water.
Rio Marié Lodge – 31/10/2021
Weather: Overall, we had a sunny week, with the inevitable rain in the last two days.
Temperatures between: 23 and 35°C
River Conditions: The Turi River was at a really good water level and kept dropping during the first half of the week, while the Marie kept stable.
Fishing Conditions:
We started the week in the higher part of the Turi River, a tributary of the Marie River, where we found perfect water conditions and had great fishing results, fishing an area that has not been touched in four years. However, the rapid drop in water on the Turi caused us to descend to avoid getting trapped in the shallow river. We finished the week on the main river which kept a stable water level and provided great fishing.
Fishing Stats:
Number of Anglers: 12
Butterflies Peacock Bass caught: 405
Speckled Peacock Bass caught: 50
Speckled Peacock Bass Over 10lbs: 11
Speckled Peacock Bass Over 15lbs: 13
Speckled Peacock Bass Over 20lbs: 4
Highlight of the Week:
Our ambitious strategy to climb the Turi River to fish an area that has not been fished in 4 years proved to be successful! The several big fish landed made the risk of getting trapped very worth it!
Also, we can’t forget to thank our skilled captain, who granted us a safe descent through the shallow Turi River and made sure to get us through the shallow sandbars without any trouble.
