About Rio Vermelho
Rio Vermelho is a river flowing through Mato Grosso, 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 Vermelho, 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.

Fishing Techniques
- For Piraíba
Target areas with strong currents and deep holes near structure; Piraíba often ambush prey from these locations.
- For Barred sorubim
Target areas near submerged logs and deep holes, as Barred sorubim are ambush predators.
- For Redtail catfish
Redtail catfish are ambush predators, so focus your efforts near structure such as submerged logs and weedbeds, and fish during low light conditions.
