can you fish in the meantime?
- Pay lakes stay open: the fish are farm-raised.
- In many states, recreational fishing continues in reservoirs, and exotic species (like tilapia, and peacock bass outside the Amazon) can be fished. Each state has its own rule.
- When in doubt, check the rule for the exact spot: Cardumi shows what applies where you're going to fish.
keep the piracema in your pocket
In the app, the rule that applies shows up where you are, with the fishing forecast, river level and alerts from anglers on the water. Free and ad-free.
