Rio Do Ouro

Rio Do Ouro, in Rondônia, Brazil, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Rio Do Ouro is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Barred sorubim

  Target areas near submerged logs and deep holes, as Barred sorubim are ambush predators.

• For Vampire fish

  Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as vampire fish have extremely sharp teeth.

• 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.
