Lake ArenalĀ 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.
