Río Canchis

Río Canchis cuts through Cajamarca, Peru and offers classic stream 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 Canchis — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.
