Productive areas are consistently associated with structure and changes in current. Deep holes, especially those scoured out by the main current, are prime holding spots for large catfish. Confluences where the Rio Caracará meets smaller tributaries or the main Rio Teles Pires create current seams and nutrient-rich areas that attract baitfish and predators. Submerged timber, fallen trees ("galhadas"), and rock ledges provide ambush points. Sandbars and points where the current swings create feeding lanes for Dorado and other species.
