Fishing Tours Costa Rica: Tortuguero Fishing

After a full day exploring Tortuguero National Park, take in some amazing fishing!

Sportfishing, Costa Rica

The species and conditions are essentially the same as at Barra del Colorado -- reputedly the best tarpon and snook fishing in the world! And even if the fish aren't biting on a given day, you can't beat the placid rain forest scenery.

For those looking for a change of pace from fighting the powerful "Silver Kings," as Atlantic Tarpon are sometimes called, there is the option of going after smaller species such as Guapote, Mojarra, Machaca, Drum, and Alligator Gar using light tackle in the quiet backwater areas.
