Costa Rica

Costa Rica is an amazingly biodiverse country with jungle trout, machaca (relative of a piranha), tarpon, and snook in the rivers.

Destinations: Welcome

Belize

Many have traveled here in search of bonefish and permit, often referred to the permit capital of the world. You will even have the occasional opportunity to throw at a tarpon or a triggerfish. We prefer southern Belize which has less fishing pressure than the more resort-based destinations
