Rio Tanaru

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

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.
