Fishing near Patos, Paraíba

Patos sits in the sertão of Paraíba, a semi-arid region where fishing revolves around the açudes — large reservoirs built to store water through dry cycles — and the intermittent rivers of the Caatinga. The Açude do Jatobá lies just a few kilometres from the city, while Açude São Mamede and Açude Condado are within regional reach. These still waters, along with stretches of the Rio da Farinha and Rio Cajazeiro nearby, are where local anglers pursue curimatá-comum and tilápia.
