About Rio Iriri

Rio Iriri, in Pará, 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 Iriri 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 Butterfly peacock bass

  Target structure like docks, submerged trees, and weed lines, varying your retrieve speed until you find what the fish prefer on that particular day.

• For Spotted sorubim

  Fish near submerged structures like fallen trees or rock piles, as spotted sorubim often ambush prey from these locations, and use a steel leader.

• For Giant trahira

  Fish near structure such as submerged logs, rocks, and vegetation, as Giant Trahira are ambush predators.
