Trip Summary

Fly Fishing Trip Today we went out on a fly fishing trip with a Finnish couple. Jouni, our client, brought his own fly fishing gear and was focused on targeting roosterfish using fly only. Due to strong winds, colder weather, and unusually cold water temperatures over the past few days, fishing conditions were challenging. As experienced local captain, I adjusted the plan and took our guests to the areas where fly fishing was possible under the day’s conditions. We fished throughout Palmares Bay and Bahía Culebra, covering different spots to maximize opportunities. Despite the tough conditions, we were able to land a jack and a cojinúa on fly. While we were unable to catch the target roosterfish, the guests enjoyed a full day on the water, exploring the area and making the most of the conditions. Fishing is always weather- and condition-dependent, and we always do our best to adapt and provide the best possible experience for our clients.
