Río San Pedro

Running through Tabasco, Mexico, Río San Pedro 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 Río San Pedro 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 snook

  When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.

• For Mexican snook

  Target areas with current and structure, such as docks, mangroves, and bridge pilings, and fish during periods of low light for best results.

• For Redbreast tilapia

  Redbreast tilapia are often found near vegetation, so target those areas and use slow retrieves to entice strikes.
