Costa Rica Fishing

Silver King Lodge

Silver King is located in "Barra del Colorado", which is approximately 140 miles from San Jose in the extreme Northeastern Caribbean Coast and is the second largest rainforest preserve in Central America. The landscape is comprised of tropical forest, fluvial islands, channels and swamp lands. With its many rivers, creeks and lagoons, this is a fantastic place to fish, and is among the best sport fishing destinations in the world. Snook, Snapper, Mackerel and Tarpon are main sport fish caught around here.

 

About the Trip

We can arrange for a personal Eco-Tour with one of our many knowledgeable local guides.

Visitors to Silver King can take a "Jungle Cruise" where they will likely see Iguanas, Keel-Billed Toucans, Caimans, Crocodiles, and Spider and White-Faced Monkeys. Less commonly seen are the endangered West Indian Manatee, Ocelot and Jaguar.

Are you tired of the daily grind of corporate life? Are you fed up with meetings, agendas and departmental memos? Come and browse your way through Tarpon fights, learn the best tackle and lures for both conventional and fly fishing. Experience Giant Snook fishing and what "The calba are coming" can mean to you. Fish the Jungle Tropical Rain forest for tackle busting Guapote and many other species that are locally known as Pan fish. Wahoo, Sailfish, Dolphin, Marlin and Tuna are located offshore from Silver King Lodge and are waiting for YOU!

Costa Rica is home to the some of the largest Tarpon in the world. Tarpon (Megalops atlanticus) are the "Silver Kings" of our coastal waters and can grow beyond 6 feet in length and weigh as much as 350 lbs. The Tarpon is known for its spectacular leaps when hooked in an attempt to get away. The world record for Tarpon caught using a hook and line is 281 lbs. When afraid, the tarpon produces sound in the form of thumps using its swim bladder.
