The Rio Marie in Brazil is known by many anglers as the “rio de gigantes” for the giant peacock bass that roam its waters. In a new film for the Fly Fishing Film Tour, anglers take on the giants of this river.
From the Fly Fishing Film Tour:
“Peacock bass unquestionably stand out as one of the most intriguing catches on a fly in the Amazon, and Rio Marie is an exceptional location. Helmut Zanderer had previously targeted various peacock bass species but landing a trophy fish, one exceeding 20 pounds, was uncharted territory for him. Follow him and his team as they venture deep into the Amazon jungle as they chase Cichla temensis, the largest in the family of the peacock bass.
