Rio Guariba

Rio Guariba is a river flowing through Amazonas, 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 Guariba, 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.

  Amazon pellona often school near structure and prefer moving water, so focus your efforts around river bends and submerged trees using lures that mimic small baitfish.

• For Small-scaled pacu

  Present your bait or lure near submerged vegetation or fallen trees, as pacu often seek shelter and food in these areas. Use a strong line and hook due to their powerful jaws.
