Rio do Poço

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