About Rio Pardo
Rio Pardo cuts through São Paulo, 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 Rio Pardo — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Golden dorado
Target areas with fast-moving water near submerged logs or rocky outcroppings, as golden dorado often ambush prey from these locations.
- 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.
- For Spotted sorubim
Fish near submerged structures like fallen trees or rock piles, as spotted sorubim often ambush prey from these locations, and use a steel leader.
