My pleasure to present  a   new  destination for your fishing trips in Central America ,  the San Juan river.  It is the  Border River between South Nicaragua and North Costa Rica...

Well when you are going to tell your friends and Family you may go for a  Fishing trip  in Nicaragua there is 99% probability they think there is something wrong, what happen to him?   they even may ask : What movie was on TV last night? Indiana Jones  ..

But problem was 15 years ago ...  World as been  changing  for the good and for the bad..Concerning Nicaragua it became a  quiet and Safe country slowly  awaking to tourism... 

Country suffered a lot from it's civil war now every body want peace.. , there is a common consensus  to change the  country bad fame...  ( See the article of Mr Bill Heavey Published in Field and Stream.. )  

Rio San Juan , 120 miles long is the only water comunication between the immensity of Fresh water  Nicaragua Lake and the Caribean sea before the revolution time it was a very famous Sport fishing area..Known of real experts..To day we are please to open it again..

I organise  real Fishing and Discovery Adventures in an almost unknown area, but  we care a lot for the confort of our Guests..It will never be Florida but since last year we use for lodging the Saballo Hotel facilities ( 45 Miles down River ) This year I opened my new Guest House located  in front San Carlos at the corner of the lake, where San Juan River Start... These two places and Hotel Mancaron in Solentiname  offer more than reasonable confort. 

Notes Concerning organisation of  my Fishing trips 

1) In case you contact us  you will not talk to a "salesman"  fighting for his commission but to the owner of the company than  you  also will meet during your fishing trip ..

2) We are a " small size Company"   and wish to  go on like this... I like to receive party of  two to a maximum  of  ten  anglers per week , so we really can know each other for a better and personalised  service , I wish to only offer quality...

3) You will enjoy great  fishing  but also will discover and  will be constantly  in contact with local people , we stop in villages in the Jungles , have meals  in Rancho on the river banks .. I and  my guides really  enjoy to discover with you... make new friends.. If it was Routine  as in so many fishing camp  our job  would be sad  boring..and NO DOUBT I will stop doing it....

 4) You   will enjoy  Jungle scenery , natural beauty and wild life...  once describe by Mark Twain...( In 1856 the famous writer was there..) 

Notes concerning 

our fishing...

What make our trips exceptional is than we truly can  go for   giant tarpon  80lb/250lb +  every day all year round ..." there is no day without tarpon on San Juan River..."  our bigest weighed so far is 235lb , we relased much bigger ... We already "Unoficialy"  ( We did not registered these  records...) beat several I.G.F.A  World record..  8lb, 12lb Class line for tarpon, Men and Women  also Children  and Junior all tackles ,  Boys and Girls.. ( These records range between 127lb till 200lb+  we have these fish around )

According to  many  experienced  Tarpon Afficionados than came fishing with us in the last three years :

 " such a quality of fishing  is probably unique in the world...  the good point is also than it is  still almost unknown,  so we are alone on the rivers..."

. The civil war is over in Nicaragua. The tarpon, unfished for 30 years, are hungry. And no one knows.....  Article by Bill Heavey   May 2004 

I hope , only can hope it will be   like that for many year....

Our fishing is on  Conventional  tackles  (Spining, Bait casting, Trolling...) and Fly , I more and more enjoy  fishing Light Tackles  with guests ..16lb/20lb or even ultra light 10lb/12lb , I also enjoy  a lot braided line...

Tarpon fishing , Snook fishing  but  we also catch trophy size   Rainbow bass, Aligator and Tropical Gar,  Mojara, , Machaca...

We catch and release

I have been writen a lot of Fishing reports   ( Fishing reports )  ...they are writen as is .." back from fishing " in my " so / so  English..."  (Sorry )

 NOTE:  Fishing reports  are  classified  by months on several years so you can know what to expect on month you plan to come.. 

Guest accolades , Magasine articles are at  References 

I am offering real Adventures Fishing trip in almost virgin Jungle River of Central America... This will sound very  scary to many readers... but  careful with fame and fashion... World has been changing a lot and nowdays as well Nicaragua as Costa Rica are quiet  countries

When someone inquire upon my fishing trip I like to tell him to read the articles witch as been published upon us in some of the best fishing Magasine in the World and also I like to give the E mail adress of people who have recently been fishing with us , so they can talk directly upon Safety, and quality of my fishing and Service...
