Rio Reis Magos

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

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 Oceanic puffer

  Oceanic puffers are often caught as bycatch, so targeting areas where they are known to congregate while fishing for other species can increase your chances of catching them. Use heavier tackle due to their powerful jaws.

• For Crevalle jack

  Crevalle jacks are often found schooling, so if you catch one, keep fishing the same area. Vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers strikes.
