Winston Selects Rio Marié as a Winston Preferred Lodge

The R.L. Winston Rod Company in Twin Bridges, Montana, leading manufacturer of the world’s finest fly rods utilizing Boron III technology, is extremely pleased to announce Rio Marié Lodge, as the newest fly fishing lodge to be selected as a WINSTON PREFERRED LODGE®.

Rio Marié, in Brazil, is the first and largest fly-fishing-only area located inside an indigenous territory in the Amazon basin. Developed with the cooperation of the Native Communities and South American outfitters, Untamed Angling, Rio Marié encompasses 400 miles of pristine waters, including more than 180 known creeks, 60 lakes, and three major tributaries. Studies have shown the waters of the Rio Marié to be home to some of the largest peacock bass in the world. Untamed Angling’s vision for Rio Marié Lodge is based on partnering with the local indigenous population. Anglers are guided by teams of professional fly fishing experts and local native guides working together.

Guests visiting Rio Marié stay aboard the Untamed Amazon, the most technologically advanced ship in the Amazon. To reduce environmental and social footprint, guest capacity is limited to small groups. Accommodations are modern and comfortable with an experienced staff that provides the perfect mix of local and international dishes accompanied by fine wines. Rio Marié masterfully blends jungle wilderness with the highest expectations in service and accommodations to create a unique and enriching fly fishing experience deep in the heart of the Amazon.
