The Sierpe wetland is the largest in Costa Rica, it has an abundant plant and animal life. On the river bank we can find mangroves, lilies and other aquatic plants, which is why it is the ideal habitat for the development and reproduction of many species of fish, shrimp, crabs and others that make up the food chain of this fabulous ecosystem.

Upstream the water is sweeter, we generally find fish such as Machaca, snook, Tarpon and snappers. Fishing here is usually done by casting, so precision is important to present the lure in hot spots.

Downstream we find brackish water, so it is possible to catch Corvina, Grouper, Tarpon, Snapper and Rooster by using surface lures, trolling, casting or jigging techniques can also be used.

Fishing in the river is much better when the tide is low, so the tour lasts no more than 6 hours. But if you want to spend a couple more hours fishing, you can mix downstream fishing with coastal fishing, taking advantage of it if the tide is low in the early hours of the morning or around noon.

Fishing in the River

Caño Island Fishing

About 14 nautical miles from the mouth of the Sierpe River is the Isla del Caño biological reserve. This island has a permanent fishing restriction in its first two kilometers, which makes it possible for different species of fish to reproduce and to maintain a large population of fish for several kilometers around, which will often be our objective in fishing. sports such as Cubera Snapper, Amberjack, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Pampano, Barracudas, Grouper, Wahoo, among others ...
