Amantani Carachi fishing
About Amantani Carachi
The carachi is a small, hardy pupfish-relative native to Lake Titicaca and the high Andean altiplano, living in cold, oxygen-thin water at extreme altitude. It is more a traditional subsistence and net fishery than a sport target, but it can be taken on tiny baited hooks close to weedy margins. Its tolerance of cold, alkaline lake water makes it an iconic high-altitude native species.
Typical size: Usually 8-15 cm and under 100 g; large ones to about 20 cm. Record (approx.): approx. 0.2 kg (varies by region).
