The Rio Riachão is a significant watercourse in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, flowing through the semi-arid Sertão region. It is a perennial river, a vital feature in the drought-prone landscape, and is impounded to form the Açude Riachão, a large reservoir that serves as a crucial water source for irrigation and local communities. The river and its reservoir create a diverse fishing environment, from flowing river sections to expansive still waters, attracting anglers targeting native and introduced species.

Productive areas include the main river channel where it enters the reservoir, as inflows often carry food and attract predatory fish. Submerged creek channels, points, and areas with significant standing timber or rocky structure within the Açude Riachão are consistently good. The tailwater area below the dam can be excellent, especially when water is being released, which oxygenates the water and draws fish.
