Winner Billy Pate Invitational Fly Tournament - Top Captain & Top Angler
We are legitimate specialists that come highly recommended and fish more fly and light tackle days than other boat here in country. Our crews are passionate and experienced blue water fly fisherman who understand the nuances of building a clientele of happy repeat customers. We have accumulated thousands of days of local knowledge and experience. Our captains are proven and well respected.
We do not fish for their numbers and egos but fish to provide the angler an enjoyable, productive learning experience. You will find that the majority of captians in Costa Rica practice the "hook and hand" method where the mates hook up the fish than hand the rod to the customer to reel in. Hooking the fish is the difficult part and where the thrill of achievment really is. We teach people to hook their own fish. It takes time and take patience but the satisfatction our customers recieve is what the experience is all about.
We are proud to say that all our crew members have tournament wins as either captains or mates. These guys want you to catch fish and achieve your dreams and work to be a part of it and make it happen. Experience on the water is key to productve days.. When the fishing is on it's pretty easy to cathc them.. but when it's slow our guys have that additonal knowledge to make something happen.
Our crews also like a challenge. Many captains here in Costa Rica prefer the easy route, head offshore, put the teasrers out and troll. Fly fishing is difficult, inshore fly especially, live baiting also takes a lot more work. Our guys love to be diverse and sklilled in all facets of Big Game fishing. Make it toug on them, ask them to produce your dream. Thet embrace it and chances are they will make them come true.
Our crews take pride in their work, pride in the equipement and pride in their boats. Fish owner operated... The experience is better.
