Comearenas, or sand eaters as they are locally called. AKA the golden trevally. Still one of our all time favorite fish to throw crab patterns to, especially when it all comes together like it did this morning for @vagrantbeard @thomasandthomasflyrods @costasunglasses

Costa Rica is diversity! Chasing a variety of species in these jungle streams is a dry fly and light rod enthusiast's dream. Come wet wade with us!

Almost that time of year again! The Costa Rican “summer”, or dry season, brings low clear river conditions and great fishing for lowland exotics like machaca, guapote, and of course our favorite, the tepemechin. Wet wading for these beauties in the jungle is a great way to beat the tropical sun.

Homepool regular Ol' Snaggletooth making invasive species eradication a top priority. Not a good day to be a tilapia.

It's not all about the fish. Sometimes the behind-the-scenes are just as exciting. In our case, the majestic creatures hidden by our lush rainforest, seen by few but appreciated by all, are what makes an experience at the Jungle Tarpon Reserve so very special. Fly fishermen aren't the only ones who watch the tarpon migration each year. In fact, we are all visiting their unique forest habitat. These elusive cats embody the jungle.

Meet KIRA. She is the queen of our rainforest, and with some luck (evidenced by what our cameras captured) she may be giving birth in the coming weeks. We are poised for this incredible event - the camera traps are ready. More to come soon!

A spectacular morning cruise looking for signs of jaguars and other rainforest wildlife with some terrific adventurers and future legends from the @fishforchange “Tarpon & Jaguars” program. What a great week spent laughing and learning, chasing tarpon, tracking cats, cutting mullets, breaking rods, and donating blood to the ever-present mozzies. Looking forward to a repeat trip in 2022!

A long way from its original home, but right at home here in our cloud forest.

Do you want to receive updates like this one about the endangered rainforest cats we encounter on our camera trap study? Are you as fascinated by these amazing creatures as we are?
We are giving all our supporters the opportunity to join our study first-hand. Every few weeks throughout our study period (July-December), we'll send a video recap of what's been captured by our cameras as well as other behind the scenes updates.
If you've ever wanted to be a part of a research project focused on biodiversity in the jungle, this is your chance to join us!
We want to thank all of our supporters thus far. We are over 50% funded, and while we aren't there yet we are optimistic that more will join this exciting project to document the rainforest wildlife living in this threatened ecosystem.

Do you know this animal? The Baird's tapir, known locally as the danta, is Central America's largest land mammal. These secretive animals are largely nocturnal, and more often than not the only thing one finds is their footprints on a muddy riverbank or trail. Even though their "trunk" resembles that of an elephant, the tapir is more closely related to horse and rhinos.
.
Love to learn about rainforest wildlife? Or do you have a younger friend or family member who does? We want to invite you to join our study! We'll be sending our supporters exclusive updates of what we find every few weeks throughout the study period (August-December 2021), including more dantas, big cats, and many other unusual rainforest critters. All you have to do is donate, and you'll be a part of this amazing and fun learning opportunity in the jungles of Costa Rica!

We've launched a crowdfunding campaign to help fund a study of the amazing wildlife we find around one of our favorite tarpon fisheries, and we need your help! Please check it out (link in BIO), and if you feel generous, please help! It would be greatly appreciated, and no amount is too small. Also, if you know someone who would be interested, please SHARE!
.
The exposure the study brings will hopefully help support a better plan for the conservation of terrestrial habitat in the area, but it will also most certainly benefit what makes us tick - the aquatic species, AKA TARPON! The future of this incredible forest and its many wild animals may depend on this interesting and important first step!
.
We'll keep all my supporters informed as we launch this study in August 2021. I am sure we'll find some amazing new wildlife.

THANKS/GRACIAS!!

Cloud forest trout fishing at its finest. Small streams, easy wading, and sweet little wild rainbows in every pocket. No better way to sharpen your fly skills or take a refreshing break from the tropical heat while in Costa Rica!
