Productive fishing spots are defined by structure and changes in depth. Key areas include the mouths of smaller tributaries (igarapés) flowing into the main river, which funnel baitfish. Deep lagoons, known locally as lagoas, are hotspots, especially those with submerged timber or aquatic vegetation. The edges of sandbars and points where current meets still water are also reliable. Fallen trees and root clusters along the banks provide essential cover for peacock bass. Anglers should focus on any visible current seams, back-eddies, or changes in water color that indicate depth variations.
