Rio Canoas

Running through Santa Catarina, Brazil, Rio Canoas is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Rio Canoas hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

  Fish near structures such as submerged logs or rocky areas, as Spotted Pimelodus often seek shelter and ambush prey there; use a slow retrieve to keep the bait in the strike zone.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For Trahira

  Target structure like weed beds and submerged logs, as traíra are ambush predators. Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
