    "Fishing on Lake Arenal is in high gear now.  With the lake levels lowering by the day the fishing is getting better and better. We averaged catching 5 Rainbow Bass each day we fished. Fishing will continue to get better as the water level continues to lower.  The size of the Rainbow Bass have not been to big though. The fish are running a couple pounds. Area of the lake are starting to get exposed that have been underwater for many months. As water levels continue to drop the grass around the lake will start to die out and the fish will move from the grass to the submerged trees and bushes.

    As the water drops you can see the Rainbow Bass holes in the shoreline. These round holes are the rainbow bass nests. We're not sure if they only use them for nesting and hatching or just for sleeping in each night. Evidence seems to indicate they use the holes year around as sleeping dens. We believe the rainbow bass lay their eggs in the grass along the shoreline.

   The lake however is very beautiful and clean. I highly recommend a boat tour / fishing trip to view the lake up close.  On our last boat tour in April 2009 we saw Toucans, Howler Monkeys and many other species of local animals. We also got some great footage of Arenal Volcano from the lake. Kayaking on the lake is also becoming very popular." You can see the volcano from many areas of the lake.

                                                      Lake Arenal Fishing Tip:   

     According to Glenn from Lake Arenal Pontoon Boat Tours & Fishing Excursions,  the best fishing for Guapote is when the lake starts rising (mid June through July) and when it's starts dropping in level (Feb-April).  Thanks Glenn for the hot tip.  For Lake Arenal Fishing Tours contact us:

                                                     Lake Arenal Fishing Guides

 There are several Lake Arenal Guided Fishing Tour operators on Lake Arenal. Lake Arenal can be a difficult lake to fish due to the seasonal high and low water levels. Some areas of the lake are not even accessible at certain times of the year. Prices for a Guided Fishing Tour on Lake Arenal can run from $200 to $350 for a full day of Lake Arenal excitement.  Several new guides have appeared recently to satisfy the demand for quality Fishing Guides on Lake Arenal. The local Fishing Guides use different techniques to fish lake Arenal.

                                          Fishing Tackle To Use On Lake Arenal

Many prefer white spinner baits and others like top water plugs in red colors. I like a combination of top water baits in the early morning while the fish are up in the grass flats and near shore. Then as the morning turns to afternoon I switch to shallow diving plugs and spinner baits in red, white, chartreuse and green. In the evenings it's best to troll deep diving crank baits in red, green, yellow and white. This is probably the best method to hook up with a big fish. Although Fishing Guides disagree on how to fish the lake from season to season, you can't beat hitting the lake early in the morning and fishing white spinner baits or red shallow divers. You may not get the biggest fish this way but you get more strikes.

                                                   Best Times To Fish Lake Arenal

 The best time to fish Lake Arenal with a Fishing Guide or by walking the shore is when the lake water level is rising or falling.  The level is usually rising from June to July and falling from February to April. The times will vary depending on the water releasing by the local water company for flood control. Check with local to find out where the water level is before planning your trip to lake Arenal. 

                                               Lake Arenal Fishing Tours

   Lake Arenal area has several local fishing guides and fishing tour businesses. You can fish the lake all year around but the fishing is best during rising or falling water levels. Lake Arenal Fishing Tours provides everything you need for a fun and successful day fishing lake Arenal.

                           More About Lake Arenal Costa Rica

    Lake Arenal is a very quiet lake as houses and marinas are not allowed to build on the water.  You can spend the entire day on this 33 mile lake and almost never see another boat.  The lake temperature stays around 76 degrees year around.  During the windy season (Nov, Dec & January) the winds can reach 50 -60 MPH, This can be a tough time for fishing the lake. One local Guapote Fishing Guide reported catching the unofficial IGFA World Record Guapote Rainbow Bass weighing 6.5 Kilos at 2 PM last November. So you never know when a big Guapote will strike. This is the best time for windsurfing though and the lake will see many windsurfing and sailing visitors during these months.

      Most other months have good Guapote Fishing conditions as each day will have 12 hours days and 12 hours nights.  It gets daylight at the same time every morning. The lake is 200 ft deep in places and can get very clear during the non windy months, especially in September.  Guapote Rainbow Bass can grow up to 15 lbs, but the average nice fish will be in the 2-5 lb range.  We sponsor advocate releasing the big seeder fish to help keep up the Guapote fishing population.  Guapote Bass are considered some of the best tasting freshwater fish also.

    Fishing on Lake Arenal is always interesting as there are many other varieties of fish in the lake and the tropical islands always have an abundance of wildlife such as sloths, monkeys and birds. Be sure to bring your camera and your binoculars to view the local birds and wildlife.  If your not a fisherman, then you can do a guided kayak tour of the lake.  The lake is absolutely beautiful!  Lake Arenal is considered one of the most beautiful and cleanest lakes in the world.

    When it rains its usually in the afternoon after 12pm and sometimes as late as 3-4pm.  So get out there early and get your opportunity to hook into a Big Guapote Rainbow Bass More Guapote Rainbow Bass fishing information can be located with the below links.  We also have a  Bed & Breakfast with an incredible view of Lake Arenal.  Ask us about our package deal of rental accommodations and guided kayak or power boat fishing on Lake Arenal
