Caribbean

On the Caribbean side of our country you can find great fishing in Barra del Colorado and Tortuguero. You will find freshwater lagoons and rivers, where you might catch one of the world’s best tarpon and snook fishing.

Tarpon: year round, with the peak season from January to May. From September to October, when the ocean flattens, the boats can go to the ocean side, where the fishes congregate outside the river mouth. During the last years, fishing has been good in July-August, even when the sea is calm, the fishes move to the ocean, giving more action opportunities along the coast.

Snook: all year round, peak season during April and May. September and October are the best months, along the coast.

The main lodges are Rio Colorado Lodge, Samay Lagoon Lodge and Silver King Lodge. They offer packages for fishing, including accommodation, meals and fishing trip to the near spots.
