Guanacaste Fly Fishing
Join Captain Esteban Blanco on an unforgettable journey through the beautiful rainforest of Guanacaste, Costa Rica! The local guides and experts at Guanacaste Fly Fishing will take you to all the local hot spots where you can expect to get a few bites and reel in a trophy winner.
Trips are run from 14' NRS inflatable outboard rafts, each one powered by a 15 HP Yamaha engine. These boats are ideal for river and surface fishing, able to easily maneuver around rock structures. Each raft fits up to 2 anglers and kids of all ages are more than welcome, as long as they are accompanied by adults.
You will mainly be fishing from the Tempisque and Corobici rivers while targeting Rainbow and Striped Bass, Machaca (Mini Tarpon), and Snook. You can expect a lot of surface fishing using grasshopper flies, poppers, and flowers.
Capt. Esteban provides top-notch fly reels and rods by Remmington, as well as fishing licenses for you and your guests. You will most likely be working up an appetite so you will be offered snacks, food, and drinks as well.
Pick-up and transportation are also included, just meet at their local office and a guide will take you to your fishing location. If you are staying in Papagayo, transportation to and from your hotel will be arranged.
If you've never gone fishing in a rainforest, now is your time to give it a try. Capt. Esteban will show you an amazing time while ensuring a safe and productive day of fly fishing. Bring a camera, sunglasses, and sunscreen and join Guanacaste Fly Fishing on this all-inclusive adventure in beautiful Costa Rica!

Excellent experience going down the river. The captain was very patient getting me un hooked from branches. He coached me into getting my first ever fish on a fly rod. My friend caught several fish as I had several misses. We also saw multiple varieties of birds, iguanas, a couple crocodiles and howler monkeys. A great trip all around.
Thanks so much !!

Another amazing trip on this beautiful river Our guide was Jose excellent knowledge and great guide Caught a lot of fish ranging up to about 9lb and wonderful scenery This was our second trip here and would highly recommended

We had a great day fishing on Rio Corobicic for Machaca. Great learning experience! Our guide Jose and his son Joseph were experienced guides and helped us catch these fast aggressive fish. Great scenery, too!
Had a great time floating Rio Corobici! Fishing was good, and our captain, Joseph, did a great job as our guide. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to get out for a fly fishing trip in Guanacaste, Costa Rica!
Great trip Jose was very helpful and knowledgeable. Beautiful scenery with crocodiles monkeys and iguanas. I definitely reccomend this trip
