Laguna Aracar

Laguna Aracar, in Salta, Argentina, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off.

Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Laguna Aracar usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

  Pre-baiting an area with corn or other plant matter for several days can concentrate grass carp and increase your chances of a catch.

• For Argentinian silverside
