Rio Guaju

Rio Guaju is a river flowing through Paraíba, Brazil. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Rio Guaju, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

• For Gafftopsail sea catfish

  Use a fish finder to locate schools of gafftopsail catfish around structure or channels, then present your bait or lure near the bottom where they are feeding.

• For Common snook
