About Rio Guaxindiba

Rio Guaxindiba is a river flowing through Rio de Janeiro, 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 Guaxindiba, 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 Atlantic croaker

  Fish near the bottom with a Carolina rig or a simple bottom rig, croaker feed primarily on or near the seabed. Use small hooks and light tackle to detect their subtle bites.

• 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 Common dolphinfish

  When you hook one dolphinfish, leave it in the water near the boat as this will often keep the school around for you to catch more.
