Fishing near Quixadá, Ceará

Quixadá sits in the sertão of Ceará, a semi-arid interior region defined by granite monoliths and a network of açudes (reservoirs) and seasonal rivers. Fishing here centers on freshwater bodies: the Açude Cedro — one of the oldest reservoirs in Brazil — sits close to the city, and smaller waters like the Açude Camará and Açude da Serra draw local anglers regularly. The Rio Guaribas and Riacho Caracol are also fished in the area.
