Fishing near Natal, Rio Grande do Norte

Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte state on Brazil's northeastern coast, sits at the mouth of the Rio Potengi and within reach of several estuaries, rivers, and lagoons. The area is best known for saltwater fly fishing and light-tackle fishing on the Rio Curimataú, where tarpon, snook, and other species move through brackish waters close to the coast. Day trips run out of Natal, while multi-day programmes push south toward Barra do Cunhaú and Praia da Pipa.
