Fishing near Caxias, Maranhão

Caxias sits in eastern Maranhão along the Rio Itapecuru, which flows directly through the city and is the main draw for local anglers. The Rio Itapecuruzinho runs close by as well, and the Rio Parnaíba — one of the great rivers of northeastern Brazil — lies within reach to the east. Several lagoas in the surrounding cerrado-transition landscape round out the freshwater fishing available to residents and visiting anglers.
