Fishing near Cacoal, Rondônia

Cacoal sits in the southwestern Amazon basin of Rondônia, where the Rio Ji-Paraná (also called Rio Machado) runs close to the city and a network of smaller rivers and igarapés fans out across the surrounding forest. Sport fishing in this region centers on tucunaré (peacock bass), the signature Amazonian gamefish prized for its aggressive strikes and powerful runs in the warm, dark-water rivers typical of this part of Rondônia.
