"Fishing
on Lake Arenal can be slow. One reason the fishing is so
poor is because of spear fishing. Although illegal, many people
dive the lake and the rivers feeding the lake to spear the
Guapote. We spoke with one local in April 2009 that
reported spearing over 60 large (5 to 8 lb Guapote) in less than
2 hours during the early morning hours of daylight. Unless the
Government takes action the Guapote may soon disappear from Lake
Arenal.
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."
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).

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.
