If you plan on fishing in El Castillo, look no further than Osprey Fishing Tours. Captain Bryan Rodríguez was born and raised just 80 meters from Lake Arenal. Fishing has been his passion since childhood, and today he is turning that passion into a dream: sharing authentic local fishing experiences with visitors from around the world.

With Captain Bryan, you are not simply going fishing—you are fishing with a local who knows the lake, its conditions, and its fishery firsthand. His goal is for every guest to leave saying, “I went fishing with a local who truly loves the sport.”

Depending on conditions, you may target Jaguar Guapote, Rainbow Bass, Crappie, Tilapia, Machacas, and other local species using spinning, popping, jigging, or fly fishing. Bryan carefully chooses quality professional equipment and keeps the boat in excellent condition because providing the best possible experience for his guests is his priority.

Osprey operates an 18-foot sportfishing bass boat, trolling motor 105 lb. with capacity for 4 passengers, equipped with professional rods, reels, lures, and all essential safety equipment. The fishing license is included.

Families and children are welcome. Guests should bring water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and any preferred snacks or drinks. Light snacks and drinks are available onboard. Alcohol is permitted in moderation; no hard liquor or glass bottles.

Come experience Lake Arenal with someone who was born beside it, grew up fishing it, and genuinely loves sharing it.

Capt. Brian runs trips out of El Castillo aboard 18' PROCRAFT Bass boat. Keep your eyes peeled for Rainbow Bass, Tilapia and Crappie as you try your hand at spinning, popping, jigging, fly fishing, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
