It is here, on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, that enormous schools of marauding Tarpon look forward to satisfying their endless appetite. Casting a 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 glimpses of giant Snook as they frantically chase after baitfish.
The seemingly endless network of rivers, View more...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.
