Quebrada Sinú

Quebrada Sinú, in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, is a stream where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Quebrada Sinú is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past.

Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Nile tilapia

  Tilapia often feed near the surface, so try presenting your bait or lure in the upper water column and use light tackle.

• For Sabaleta

  Fish upstream, casting towards deeper pools and structure where Sabaleta like to ambush prey, and vary your retrieve speed.
