I've lived near the Arenal lake all my life. Since I was a child, I enjoyed fishing with my brother on the shores of the beautiful Lake Arenal. I'm a local and know the lake very well. I fish approximately four to five times a week and am very familiar with the fishing spots that will provide you with the best fishing experience in the area. I like to share time with the people who love fishing. We can make new friends and share fishing experiences on this trip
