For pure sailfishing, Guatemala could be considered the most consistent and productive fishery in the world. The rumors and seemingly grossly over exaggerated tales are true...25-50 sailfish a day is not a "fish story". Blue water close to the marina makes this destination desirable providing anglers more fishing time. Guatemala is an ideal location for conventional anglers and fly fishermen alike. In fact, we recommend those interested in getting started in saltwater fly fishing try this hot spot. With so many shots at sailfish, the knowledge gained in one day of fishing would take a week in many other destinations. Guatemala is a must for any angler. Being one of the easiest destinations to get to makes it even more attractive. Go, try it out, and come back and tell us your fish stories...and we'll believe you!
