Arroyo Pindapoy Grande is a freshwater stream flowing through the province of Misiones, Argentina, within the greater Plata river basin. Its name derives from the Guaraní phrase pinda po'i, meaning "fine fishhook" — a fitting name for a waterway that has long drawn the attention of local anglers. The stream originates in the Sierras de San José and flows until it joins the Arroyo Garupá to the east of the town of the same name. Along its course, it receives several tributaries, including the Arroyo Tororó and Arroyo Pindapoy Chico from the left bank, and the Arroyo Guasupí from the right. Of particular geological interest, part of the Pindapoy Grande follows an ancient channel — a paleocauce — of the Río Paraná, from a time when that great river drained eastward through the Garupá, Pindapoy, and Río Aguapey systems toward the Río Uruguay. This ancient heritage gives the stream a distinctive character, with a meandering lower course that transitions into a sub-reservoir environment near its confluence with the Garupá.

The most notable fishing area along the Pindapoy Grande is the lower reach near its confluence with the Arroyo Garupá, where the stream broadens and forms a sub-reservoir environment. This zone, located near the town of Garupá, concentrates fish along the coastal margins and offers access to a variety of native species. The confluence itself, where the Pindapoy Grande meets the Garupá, is a classic holding area for fish seeking the mixing of currents and the food resources that accumulate at such junctions. Upstream, the tributaries — including the Arroyo Guasupí on the right bank and the Arroyo Tororó and Pindapoy Chico on the left — create additional confluence points that are worth exploring, as these smaller stream mouths typically attract feeding fish.
