Fishing near Sinop, Mato Grosso


Sinop sits in northern Mato Grosso, where the agricultural frontier meets the southern edge of the Amazon basin. The city's marquee water is the Rio Teles Pires — also known locally as the Rio São Manuel — a major river that draws anglers from across the region. Smaller tributaries and ribeirões fan out in every direction, and the Usina Hidrelétrica de Sinop on the Teles Pires adds reservoir habitat to the mix.
