Rio Potiribu

Rio Potiribu is a river flowing through Rio Grande do Sul, 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 Potiribu, 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.
