Fishing near Rio Verde, Goiás

Rio Verde sits in the Cerrado of southwestern Goiás, where a network of rivers and ribeirões drains the surrounding agricultural plateau. The Rio Verde (also called Rio Verdão) is the area's signature waterway, and smaller streams such as the Ribeirão da Laje, Ribeirão da Abóbora, and Rio do Peixe give local anglers plenty of access points. Submerged logs, fallen trees, and rock piles along these rivers are classic ambush structure and the focus of most recreational fishing in the region.
