The Rio Tucuruí is a significant water body in the state of Pará, Brazil, formed by the massive Tucuruí Hydroelectric Dam on the Tocantins River. This large reservoir system, the first major hydroelectric project built in the Brazilian Amazon, has created an expansive fishing environment. The reservoir extends approximately 350 kilometers upriver from the dam, creating a complex aquatic ecosystem that supports a diverse fish community. The area is a focal point for both local subsistence fishing and recreational angling, offering opportunities to target several notable Amazonian species within its waters.
