About Rio Jari
Rio Jari, in Amapá, 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 Jari 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 Redeye piranha
Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs from sharp teeth and target areas with structure, like submerged trees or rocky outcrops.
- For Channel catfish
Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
- For Vampire fish
Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as vampire fish have extremely sharp teeth.
