The deep pools immediately downstream of rapids and waterfalls are prime holding water for dourado. Undercut banks along outside bends and areas with substantial submerged timber also hold large fish. The specific area known as "Cachoeirão" itself, which translates to "big waterfall," creates a natural barrier and a series of deep, oxygenated pools that are legendary fishing spots.
