Río Azul

Flowing through Huánuco, Peru, Río Azul is a stream that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Río Azul hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Río Azul can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.
