Rio Piripucu

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