Fishing near Iguatu, Ceará

Iguatu sits in the sertão of south-central Ceará, where the Rio Jaguaribe runs close to town and a network of açudes — including the large Açude Orós nearby — gives freshwater anglers a range of still and moving water to work. Riachos such as the Riacho Conceição, Riacho do Bravo, and Riacho Curica are local fishing spots, and Açude Trussu is another well-known water in the immediate area. The fishery is a classic semi-arid Nordeste scene: reservoir and river fishing for native and introduced species in waters that reflect the rhythms of the Caatinga.
