Rio Sotério

As a river in Rondônia, Brazil, Rio Sotério fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Rio Sotério pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Barred sorubim

  Target areas near submerged logs and deep holes, as Barred sorubim are ambush predators.

• For Vampire fish

  Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as vampire fish have extremely sharp teeth.

• For Black pacu

  Black pacu are primarily herbivorous, so focus on presenting baits and lures that resemble fruits, seeds, or vegetation near structure or in areas with abundant plant life.
