Río Bache

Running through Huila, Colombia, Río Bache is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Río Bache hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

• 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 Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Red tilapia

  Red tilapia often feed near the surface, so try shallow running lures or baits presented near the surface.
