Productive areas are consistently found around significant structure. Confluences with smaller tributaries attract baitfish and predators. Deep pools adjacent to faster current, especially those with submerged timber or rock ledges, hold large Tucunaré and catfish. Undercut banks along outside bends of the river provide excellent ambush points. Areas with aquatic vegetation, such as water hyacinth mats, often hold Traíra and schools of smaller fish.
