CR is supposed to be great for tarpon in turbid (read: muddy) water, and some excellent permit fishing in spots. I don't know what else they've got, probably some bones, too. Plenty of English-speaking guides and lodge outfitters down there, that's for sure! I know a lot of folks who go to CR to fly fish for tarpon and permit, but a bunch who also fly fish offshore for billfish down there. That's supposedly the thing CR is really tops for.
It's a family trip, so hopefully I can squeeze a day or two of fly fishing in. Have done some homework on the net,but really just looking for a reliable guide that I can hire for a day or two. I read that some of the rivers near the salt can be good for smaller tarpon and can be best served with a fly rod. Hoping to get more info on that.
