En el sur riojano, por la zona de Chamical y Olta, El Saladillo es un dique de llano bordeado de monte y campo abierto, con agua templada y costas mansas donde el silencio manda. La pesca se reparte entre el pejerrey y la perca, un dúo clásico de estos espejos serranos.
Al pejerrey se lo trabaja embarcado a la deriva sobre los cardúmenes o de costa, con líneas de brazoladas cebadas con mojarra, boya corrediza y trolling lento cuando anda esquivo; el pique es fino y hay que estar atento. La perca, buena peleadora, se arrima a las piedras y las estructuras sumergidas; conviene tentarla con pequeños señuelos y cucharitas de recupero lento, bien cerca del fondo. En términos generales las dos se prenden mejor con el agua fresca, del otoño a la primavera. Pesca de los Llanos, de horizonte quieto y monte bajo.

The pejerrey is a medium-sized fish with a delicate mouth, so the tackle leans to the fine and sensitive side. A recommended setup:
The philosophy of the tackle is simple: the finer and more sensitive it is, the more bites you will detect and the more you will enjoy the fight of this silver fish.
Light spinning with small spoons, micro-jigs and soft plastics, or fly with small streamers. Bait: worm. It keeps company with the trout in Patagonian lakes and rivers.
