Good luck, with your next trip. Maybe that is a good time to start a new thread (like, "September fishing in Parana" or "Parana 2009" or something?).

Cheers,

Hi, and welcome to PC.
Nice pics so far, look forward to more.
Slightly OT, but what is Hyla sp, and why is it illegal to keep?

Hi, hyla sp. is the small frog I found in the river. In Brazil its illegal to keep frogs as a pet. Brazilias law are not nice with us. Becouse we have a graeit biodiversity they want to protect it, and dont alow as to keep some species of animals. Frogs, some fishes, etc...
