Rio Benevente

Flowing through Espírito Santo, Brazil, Rio Benevente is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Rio Benevente hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Rio Benevente can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Species at This Spot

Fishing Techniques

• For Fat snook

  Fish near structure like docks, mangroves, and bridges, as fat snook are ambush predators that like to hide and dart out for prey.

• For Southern yellowtail amberjack

  When fishing structure, use a heavier leader to prevent break-offs, as yellowtail will often run hard into rocks or reefs.

• For Silver scabbardfish

  When fishing deep for silver scabbardfish, use braided line with a fluorocarbon leader for sensitivity and abrasion resistance.
