The Rio Taquaraçu is a significant river flowing through the state of Espírito Santo in eastern Brazil, ultimately joining the Castelo River as a tributary. It is a river of two distinct characters: a flowing river course and the expansive Taquaruçu Reservoir impounded upon it. The reservoir, a primary feature for anglers, is a substantial body of water that supports a diverse and organized fish community, studied for its ecological attributes across a longitudinal gradient from the riverine inflow to the dam area. The surrounding landscape offers trails and access points, making it a destination for both bank and boat anglers seeking a variety of freshwater species.

The Taquaruçu Reservoir itself is the focal point for fishing activity. Key areas likely correspond to the ecological zones identified in studies: the riverine zone near the inflow, the transition zone, and the deeper lacustrine zone near the dam. Each zone holds different fish assemblages. Bank access points around the reservoir perimeter and accessible via trails like the Grapuama - Rio Taquaraçu trail provide shore fishing opportunities. The dam area often attracts anglers due to deeper water and potential for larger fish.
