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

Fishing Techniques
- For Piavuçu
Fish near submerged structure like fallen trees or weed beds, as Piavuçu often ambush prey from cover. Vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers a strike.
- For Golden dorado
Target areas with fast-moving water near submerged logs or rocky outcroppings, as golden dorado often ambush prey from these locations.
- For Small-scaled pacu
Present your bait or lure near submerged vegetation or fallen trees, as pacu often seek shelter and food in these areas. Use a strong line and hook due to their powerful jaws.
