Rio Perdida

Flowing through Tocantins, Brazil, Rio Perdida is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Rio Perdida hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Rio Perdida can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

• For Redtail catfish

  Redtail catfish are ambush predators, so focus your efforts near structure such as submerged logs and weedbeds, and fish during low light conditions.

• For Barred sorubim
