Why Fishing in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica’s waters are home to an abundance of big fish, which lure fisherman from around the world.

Just a few of the species caught in large numbers off the Pacific Coast are sailfish, blue marlin, striped marlin, roosterfish, tuna, and snapper; while in the Caribbean coast tarpon and snook fishing is unexcelled.

Because Costa Rica’s two oceans are so close, you can actually fish both during your vacation.

According to the International Game Fish Association, Costa Rica holds 44 line class records, 17 fly rod records, and 18 all-tackle records for a total of 79 records!!

Out in the sea, Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast offers outstanding saltwater action, from the Papagayo Gulf and Flamingo in the north, to Quepos-Manuel Antonio in the mid-Pacific, down to Golfo Dulce in the south. On the other hand, the canals and rivers of the northern Atlantic coast feature world-class snook and tarpon fishing. Billfish are the country's biggest attractions, with abundant sailfish and marlin off the Pacific coast, but the fishermen also hook plenty of other feisty fighters, such as wahoo and roosterfish.

Though deep sea fishing is the country's forte, there is also has great fresh water fishing in Lake Arenal and the larger rivers in the Northern Zone, where anglers can fight with the small but ornery guapote, a hump-backed fish also known as the rainbow bass.
