About Rio Urupá

Rio Urupá is a river flowing through Rondônia, Brazil. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Rio Urupá, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Tambacu

    Use a strong line (20-30 lb test) and a sturdy hook, as Tambacu are powerful fish with a strong bite and can make strong runs.

  • For Trahira

    Target structure like weed beds and submerged logs, as traíra are ambush predators. Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.

  • For Nile tilapia

    Tilapia often feed near the surface, so try presenting your bait or lure in the upper water column and use light tackle.
