About Rio Itapocu

Rio Itapocu is a river flowing through Santa Catarina, Brazil. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Rio Itapocu, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Fat snook

    Fish near structure like docks, mangroves, and bridges, as fat snook are ambush predators that like to hide and dart out for prey.

  • For Redbreast tilapia

    Redbreast tilapia are often found near vegetation, so target those areas and use slow retrieves to entice strikes.

  • For Common snook

    When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.
