Lake Arenal is having its typical high windy condition of December to February and regardless, the fishing is still good for medium sized fish, along the shore and when deep trolling with Hi-D sinking lines with White/Silver or Yellow streamer flies. Pencil poppers are dynamite in the mornings fished along the shore and banks, rear structure and floating grass beds. Strong 30 lb. shock tippets are advised. The Arenal Volcano is now calm but mainly under cloud, with some occasional occurrence of acid rain and ash fall on the southern end of the lake.

The Rainbow Trout fishing in the high mountain rivers of the Cerro de La Muerte are also producing some good medium sized fish, especially in the early morning and evening. The present dry season has produced clear water conditions and the fish are feeding freely. An angler has to stalk the fish and carefully approach the pools. Most are taken on weighted Hare’s Ear nymphs and Soft Hackles. Bright streamer flies in #10 to #14 are taking fish in deep pools. Use weighted flies or lead shot. Trout are running from 7 to 26 inches. The best rivers have been the Rio Savegre, Rio Copey, Rio General (Canaan) and Rio Toro (Bajos). These areas are ideal for single or two day trips.
