Costa Rica's going to blow you away! Me, my wife and two of our friends are headed back down there in mid-March for our fourth trip in two years! For fly fishing, what you need depends on what you're after and since there's both fresh and sal****er fishing. For starters and believe it or not, Costa Rica has some excellent trout fishing and so, a 4- or 5-weight would do just fine. The best place for it is called "Savegre Mountain Hotel" and is located a bit over two-hours from the capital, San Jose. If you have a car/truck, take Route 2 out of San Jose and travel to the kilometer 80 signpost. Follow the sign indicated "Entrada a San Gerardo de Dota", and travel 9 kilometers to the facility, a rustic place with clean, cozy cabins at an elevation of 7,500' above sea level. Regular bus service also runs between San Jose and San Ysidro and costs about $3 US. Tell the driver to drop you at Kilometer 80 and have the hotel staff pick you up at the drop-off. Contact them--the hotel--ahead of time to reserve your room(s); here's the web address:http://www.savegre.co.cr/indexeng.html Also, there are a number of freshwater and brackish rivers ("rios" in Espanol) as well as deep sea fishing to be had. Again, it depends on what species you're after--blue marlin might require as much as a 14-weight!! Sailfish and Marlin will be at peak populations at the end of March, and roosterfish, snook and others can be caught as well. If you'd like to be put in-touch with a local, knowledgeable and experienced booking agent, let me know what your itinerary is and I'll get in-touch with my contacts to make the necessary arrangements. |
