Rio Taquari

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