About Rio Biguaçu

As a river in Santa Catarina, Brazil, Rio Biguaçu fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Rio Biguaçu pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Fat snook

  Fish near structure like docks, mangroves, and bridges, as fat snook are ambush predators that like to hide and dart out for prey.

• For Redbreast tilapia

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

• For Oceanic puffer

  Oceanic puffers are often caught as bycatch, so targeting areas where they are known to congregate while fishing for other species can increase your chances of catching them. Use heavier tackle due to their powerful jaws.
