Laguna Verde

Anglers know Laguna Verde as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Potosí, Bolivia. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Laguna Verde is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
