Rio Turvo

Rio Turvo is a river flowing through São Paulo, 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 Turvo, 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 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 Trahira

  Target structure like weed beds and submerged logs, as traíra are ambush predators. Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.

• For Redbreast tilapia

  Redbreast tilapia are often found near vegetation, so target those areas and use slow retrieves to entice strikes.
