Always check property boundaries and applicable regulations before visiting. onWater's Public & Private Land layer can help you plan your access with confidence.

Productive areas include the confluence zones with smaller tributaries, which create current seams and nutrient-rich areas that attract baitfish and predators. Deep pools located downstream of rapids or sandbars are reliable holds for Dourado and large catfish. Isolated lagoons (lagos) and oxbow lakes connected to the main river during high water become prime fishing locations as they become isolated in the dry season, holding concentrated populations of Peacock Bass and Pacu.
