The larger boats are also able to make the longer runs to the less frequently fished San Juan River where it borders Nicaragua.
For the dedicated fresh water fisherman, Costa Rica also offers literally hundreds of miles of rivers and some lakes that always provide plenty of sport. Lake Arenal, located about four hours away from San Jose, is the most popular and is open to fishing throughout the year. It's home to the "Guapote" or rainbow bass, a member of the cichlid family, as is the peacock bass found in some parts of South America and more recently introduced to Florida waters. Caño Negro, about a 1 1-2 hour's drive from Arenal is an immense inland lake that is home to the largest tarpon you're likely to find in the country. The largest one caught weighed in at 205 pounds. There is also snook, drum, guapote, and other species.
