About Arroio Pelotas

Arroio Pelotas cuts through Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Arroio Pelotas — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Trahira

  Target structure like weed beds and submerged logs, as traíra are ambush predators. Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.

• For South American silver croaker

  Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to that day, focusing on areas with structure.

• For Pale catfish

  Fish near submerged structures, as pale catfish often congregate in these areas. Use a slow retrieve, allowing the bait or lure to stay in the strike zone longer.
