Rio Trairão

Rio Trairão, in Pará, Brazil, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Rio Trairão is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Butterfly peacock bass

  Target structure like docks, submerged trees, and weed lines, varying your retrieve speed until you find what the fish prefer on that particular day.

• For Barred sorubim

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

• For Redtail catfish

  Redtail catfish are ambush predators, so focus your efforts near structure such as submerged logs and weedbeds, and fish during low light conditions.
