Costa Rica Fishing Vacations and Luxury Adventure Packages
|
|
Costa Rica is an angler's dream come true. The country's Pacific ports and beach resorts provide access to some of the best deep sea fishing in the world, while the canals and rivers of the northern Atlantic coast feature world-class snook and tarpon fishing. Billfish are the country's major attraction, 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, chances are also good of fishing in Arenal Lake and the larger rivers of the Northern Zone, where anglers can fight with small but ornery guapotes, hump-backed fishes known in English as rainbow basses.
