<h2>What to Expect from Fresh Water Fishing in Caño Negro:</h2>Are you prepared to experience what’s affectionately known as “The Amazon of Costa Rica?” The remoteness of Caño Negro is refreshing. You’ll know you’ve come to a particular place the second you arrive. A day of fishing there leaves you feeling rejuvenated. You will have the chance to fight (and it is a fight!) the majestic silver king tarpon. You may also come across the prehistoric alligator gar (gaspar), rainbow bass, machaca, and snook, known for their combative nature.The rivers and tributaries which make up the Caño Negro National Park offer some of the best freshwater and swamp fishing in Costa Rica. You can fly fish or use light tackle equipment casting around critical points.&nbsp;Caño Negro is one of Costa Rica’s best-kept secrets and a true freshwater angler’s paradise.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>FAQ About Fresh Water Fishing In Caño Negro:</h2><ul><li>Will there be a guide? Yes. Guides are native to the area, well trained, and ready to help you make a catch and identify it.</li><li>Do I have to be an experienced fisherman? No. This is a great spot to practice the sport for the first time because of the breathtaking views to take in while you try your hand at it. Nature lovers are thrilled when they visit this area. You can spot migratory birds, monkeys, crocodiles, tapirs, turtles, and wild cats, like jaguars and ocelots.</li><li>When is the Caño Negro fishing season? The best time to go freshwater fishing in Caño Negro is from mid-December to April. That’s when there’s the most variety and quantity. August through November are the best months to go after tarpon specifically.</li><li>What should I bring? You’ll want to stay protected from the sun with long pants, a hat, and sunscreen, and you’ll want to stay hydrated with your favorite beverage. Insect repellent is a good idea too. Your camera captures the best catches in real-time.</li></ul>

Wow!!! All I can say is that this trip was amazing. It was an incredible experience from beginning to end. The scenery in this country is beautiful and breathtaking. So much to learn about the continental divide and diversity of the plant and tree life in this beautiful lush rainforest. The volcano in Arenal was amazing. The scenery changed every minute literally. Emma Lasiuk was the reason we decided to take this vacation. I told her what I was looking for and she gave me and my wife everything I wanted and more.

I worked with Caitlin Summer to plan and book our Costa Rican vacation. She asked what we liked, wanted to see &amp; do and then sent us a proposal. We made a few changes and then booked our trip. Caitlin did a fantastic job meeting our expectations-booking a great hotel with a beautiful view in La Fortuna and an awesome bungalow in Puerto Viejo that made us feel like we were in the jungle.
