Fly Fishing Costa Rica - Rio Parismina

"Silver King" Fishing At It's Best

Fly Fishing Costa Rica - It is here on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, that enormous schools of marauding tarpon search to satisfy their endless appetite. Casting a plug or fly into a school of feeding tarpon is just the start of one of the greatest experiences an angler can have. Perhaps no other fish will take a lure so softly and then explode into wild, acrobatic leaps to throw the lure.

The Parismina River is the site of four world record snook. Casting into the surf at the mouth of the Parismina River, you might spot tarpon rolling or catch glipses of giant snook as they frantically chase after baitfish. Not only will you find a shot at world class tarpon and snook action, but also offered is the option of fishing a few miles offshore. Here you may catch snapper, wahoo, jack crevalle, king mackerel and tuna.

The seemingly endless network of rivers, streams and lagoons also offer the angler a wondrous and exciting challenge. These jungle backwaters are filled with exotic river fish waiting to ambush your offering. Fish with names like machaca, mojara, guapote as well as mangrove snappers, four different species of snook, and tarpon call this rainforest their home.

Much of the freshwater fishing is done within the boundary of the Tortuguero National Park, affording you the opportunity to enjoy the rainforest, still untouched by man.
