AMAZON RIVER SPECIES
Traíra
It is a voracious, quarreling fish, completely territorial and very sporty. It has sharpened teeth bigger and worse than the Piranha and all the care is little in its handling, because in addition it is extremely smooth and slippery. The traíra is active when the water is hot, with temperature above 18 ° C. It inhabits places of still water and abundant aquatic vegetation. Pieces of wood, fallen logs, cans, are a great hiding place for traíras. In the cold months they are buried in the bottom to withstand the low temperature of the water. Fishing with artificial baits is a great option for those who want to catch them. As for natural baits, small fish, frogs and earthworms are part of your favorite menu. Whether in fishing with artificial baits, or with traditional bamboo rods, a thick leader or a steel tie are recommended as your teeth are very sharp. If you are fishing with a simple hook, this should preferably be long leg, as it is an extra security.
