3-Day Arenal Getaway: Fishing Lake Arenal
For all you serious anglers, May is the best month to fish Lake Arenal. The water level is low, rainy season hasn't quite set in, and the lake is positively roiling with large, hungry guapote -- also known as rainbow bass. Our fishing captain, Marc Belgas of Mapache-Ecoterra tours, teased me with this enticing tidbit of August information. With more than 20 years experience fishing the lake, this man knew what he was talking about. If May doesn't fit into your vacation plans, he advised any month between March-July, though I had landed a monster guapote in late September just two years prior. (Perhaps a little lady luck?)
