Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

I'll let you in on a little secret – Nicaragua's fishing scene is still flying under the radar, which means less pressure and more trophy catches for you. Our repeat guests rave about the variety – one day you're battling a tarpon that'll test every ounce of your strength, the next you're finessing peacock bass out of structure. It's like a fishing buffet, and you get to sample it all. Plus, our all-inclusive setup means you can focus on what matters: fishing. No hassle about meals or logistics. Just wake up, grab some grub, and hit the water. And when you're swapping fish tales over dinner? That's when you'll really appreciate the small group size. It's like fishing with your buddies, but with expert guides doing all the heavy lifting.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's break down the heavy hitters you'll be targeting on this trip. First up, the tarpon – these silver kings can top 100 pounds easy. They're known for spectacular aerial displays that'll have your heart pounding. Best time to tangle with these brutes is during the rainy season, from May to January. Just be ready for a fight – these guys don't give up easy.

Next, we've got snook. These ambush predators love to hang out near mangroves and river mouths. They've got a reputation for being picky eaters, but our guides know just how to tempt them. Snook fishing heats up from August to November, and again from February to April. Landing a big snook is all about finesse and knowing when to put the pressure on.

Rainbow trout might surprise you in Nicaragua, but we've got 'em. These beauties are found in the cooler, high-elevation streams. They're not the biggest fish you'll catch, but man, are they fun on light tackle. Plus, there's nothing quite like the colors on a wild rainbow. These guys are active year-round, but fishing really picks up from November to April when the water's clearest.

Peacock bass – now that's a fish that'll test your skills and your gear. These aggressive fighters are known for crushing topwater lures and putting on acrobatic displays. They're most active during the dry season, from December to April. Be ready for explosive strikes and powerful runs – peacocks don't mess around.

Last but not least, we've got the alligator gar. These prehistoric-looking monsters can grow over 8 feet long. They're ambush predators with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, so careful handling is a must. Gar fishing is best during the warmer months, from March to September. Hooking one of these giants is an experience you won't forget – it's like trying to reel in a log with an attitude!

Time to Book Your Spot

Alright, folks, let's cut to the chase – this Nicaragua fishing package is the real deal. Where else can you target such a diverse lineup of gamefish, all while enjoying top-notch accommodations and meals? And remember, we're talking about a destination that hasn't been fished out. You've got a genuine shot at some personal bests here.

Learn more about the species

Alligator Gar

Alligator gar are prehistoric-looking monsters that can top 8 feet and 300 pounds. These armored beasts lurk in our deep river bends, backwaters, and coastal lagoons. Look for them near shallow flats where they hunt. Late summer is prime time when hot, dry weather concentrates them in deeper holes. Gar fishing is all about patience - it can take hours for a bite. But when that float disappears, hang on tight. These bruisers make blistering runs and will jump clear out of the water. Most anglers release them to preserve the fishery. For bait, we use 6-inch mullet or carp on a wire leader. Here's an insider tip: Let them run with the bait for a good 30 seconds before setting the hook. Their bony mouths are tough to penetrate.

Peacock Bass

Peacock bass are the ultimate freshwater gamefish here in Nicaragua. These colorful fighters average 2-5 pounds but can top 20. You'll find them in warm, slow-moving water like lakes, ponds and canals. Look for submerged logs, rocky areas, and aquatic plants. Peacocks are most active in the heat of the day, unlike other bass. They're aggressive predators that crush topwater lures and put on amazing aerial displays when hooked. The best fishing is March to June and September to December. Anglers love peacocks for their striking colors, hard hits, and bulldogging fights. The meat is excellent too. Try this local trick - work a noisy topwater lure fast and erratically. Peacocks can't resist smashing it.

Rainbow Trout

Rainbow trout aren't native to Nicaragua, but we've got some great stocked populations in our cool mountain streams. These colorful fighters typically run 8-24 inches and 2-8 pounds. Look for them in fast riffles, deep pools, and around boulders or fallen trees. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temperatures are ideal. Anglers love 'bows for their beautiful spotted patterns and acrobatic fights. They'll leap clear out of the water when hooked. The meat is delicious too, with a mild, nutty flavor. Fly fishing with nymphs or dry flies is popular, but spinners and small lures work well too. Here's a local tip - when the water's high and fast, try drifting a worm under a bobber right along the banks. The trout often tuck in close to shore to avoid the current.

Snook

Snook are a prized catch here in Nicaragua, known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. These silver-sided fish typically run 2-3 feet long and 10-20 pounds. You'll find them lurking around mangroves, river mouths, and coastal structures. Snook love ambushing prey, so work your lures or live bait near cover. Early mornings and evenings are prime time, especially on moving tides. The rainy season from May to November brings more snook inshore to spawn. Anglers go nuts for snook because of their hard-pulling runs and jumps when hooked. The meat is also excellent eating if you decide to keep one. Pro tip: When a snook hits, don't set the hook right away. Let it run with the bait for a few seconds, then reel down and sweep the rod to the side. Gets 'em every time.

Tarpon

Tarpon are the silver kings of our waters, growing up to 8 feet long and 280 pounds. These prehistoric-looking fish roll on the surface, gulping air with their huge, upturned mouths. You'll find them in our coastal lagoons, river mouths, and along the beaches. Tarpon fishing heats up from April through August during their spawning runs. These monsters will test your stamina with long, powerful runs and spectacular aerial displays. Watching a 100-pounder clear the water by 10 feet is something you'll never forget. Most anglers practice catch and release to preserve the fishery. Live mullet, pinfish, or crabs are top baits. Here's a local trick - when a tarpon jumps, lower your rod tip to give it slack. Keeps the hook from tearing out during those wild leaps.
