The mouth of the Colorado River in Costa Rica is a legendary paradise for tarpon fishing, where these silver giants—known as "Silver Kings" for their metallic sheen—exceed 100 kg and leap with epic fury at the fly or lure. This Caribbean estuary concentrates massive migrations, offering unparalleled action in murky, warm waters.
Explosive Action
At the mouth, where the freshwater river meets the saltwater sea, tarpon patrol in schools, attacking with acrobatic bursts that test the angler's endurance, ideal for fly fishing with 12- to 14-weight rods.
