Río Igara Paraná

Río Igara Paraná cuts through Amazonas, Colombia and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Río Igara Paraná — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Dusky narrow hatchetfish

  Use a light wire hook for live bait to avoid injuring the fish, and retrieve lures quickly near the surface since they tend to feed up.

• For Silver hatchetfish

  Use a light wire hook and sensitive rod to detect the subtle bites of Silver Hatchetfish.

• For Small-scaled pacu

  Present your bait or lure near submerged vegetation or fallen trees, as pacu often seek shelter and food in these areas. Use a strong line and hook due to their powerful jaws.
