paranapanema river — rosana

Where the Paranapanema meets the Paraná, on the border of SP, PR and MS. Dorado and surubim in the current.

Rosana sits at the western tip of São Paulo state, where the Paranapanema flows into the Paraná River. Below the Rosana and Porto Primavera dams, the water runs and draws dorado, surubim, piapara and curimbatá. In the lakes and arms, croaker and peacock bass. It's a meeting point for three states, each with its own rules. Bottom fishing with live and natural bait in the current, dough for piapara and pacu, and casting for dorado. High banks and strong current require care.
