Rio Jacuí

Running through Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Rio Jacuí 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 Rio Jacuí 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 Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For Trahira

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

• For Pale catfish

  Fish near submerged structures, as pale catfish often congregate in these areas. Use a slow retrieve, allowing the bait or lure to stay in the strike zone longer.
