Costa Rica is the home of Silver King Lodge. Our guests say, "It is the worlds best tarpon fishing lodge." Tarpon are fought on our NEW BOATS in open water or from Carolina Skiffs on the rivers. Silver King offers luxurious accommodations, gourmet meals, newest boats and the best guides on the east coast of Costa Rica.  Come and browse your way through tarpon fights, learn the best tackle and lures for both conventional and fly fishing. Experience giant snook fishing and what "the calba are coming" can mean to you. Fish the jungle tropical rain forest for tackle busting guapote and many other species that are locally known as pan fish. Perhaps you might find a sawfish while you take our tour.

Season

 

Silver King Lodge is located in "Barra del Colorado" the second largest rainforest preserve in Central America. You will fly from your country of origin to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. Then take a short 30 minute flight to the lodge. SILVER KING LODGE, has been selected as the most upscale, most luxurious lodge in the area year after year, by the most respected guide books in the industry. Tarpon THE ULTIMATE PRIZE AT SILVER KING LODGE whether fishing from the sea or in the rivers. SILVER KING LODGE IS THE HOME FOR "TARPON ON THE FLY" Clifford Ramos "The Fly Fishing Guide of The Year in 1996" would be happy to be your guide while at Silver King Lodge. In the months of December and January the "calba" or fat snook migrate up the rivers to spawn. These snook can be caught in great numbers - 20 to ? - in just a few hours. They are not as big as normal snook ranging in weight from 6 to 10 pounds but fight just as hard. Tackle is medium light with 8 to 12 pound test line preferred. Some guests use ultra light spinning tackle but it should be remembered that tarpon lurk in the same waters with the snook and many giant snook turn out to be tarpon over 100 pounds.
