About Rio Maquiné

Rio Maquiné, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Rio Maquiné is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Jacundá

  Jacundá often hide near structure like submerged logs or rocks, so cast your bait or lure close to these areas and be ready for a quick strike.

• For Pearl cichlid

  Fish near structure like submerged logs or rocks, as Pearl cichlids often use these areas for cover and ambush points.
