Captain Ty Madill grew up in Canada, and it's where he fell in love with fishing. He enjoyed his time on the water ever since he was a child, so fishing has stayed his greatest passion. When Capt. Ty moved to Lake Arenal in Costa Rica 14 years ago, running charters for a living came naturally. These days, he puts his customers on beautiful fish with stunning scenery as a backdrop.
