Budget Costa Rica - a costcutters guide to adventure fishing
It is said that a bad day fishing in Costa Rica is better than a good day fishing anywhere else. This is a bold claim, but one that sees large numbers of satisfied fishermen return to Costa Rica yearly. The realistic chance of a record weight sailfish in the pacific or a truck sized tarpon in the Caribbean has a huge incentive to the would-be trophy fisherman, but at a price. Often exorbitantly overpriced all-inclusive fishing packages see only anglers with the biggest wallet at these venues. Well it looks like it’s going to take a Brit to dispel this myth and introduce you to Budget Costa Rica. While this story is not about fly fishing, I hope you will still enjoy the fishing adventure and understand that there is no reason why the same trip cannot be undertaken with a fly rod too!
