Casa Vieja fly fishing report

[Legend]

Fishing report from Capt. Erik Lorentzen at Casa Vieja Lodge, Guatemala. But first a list of characters, so I don't have to repeat everytime:

Cañaso - 37 Daytona with Capt. Chico Alvarenga
Finest Kind - 40 Whiticar with Capt. Ron Hamlin
Intensity - 37 Gamefisherman with Capt. Mike Sheeder
Release - 37 Merritt with Capt. Nico Melendrez
Rum Line - 40 Gamefisherman with Capt. Chris Sheeder
Spindrift - 38 Stolper with Capt. Nicho Alvarenga
Twenty - 40 Rybovich with Capt. Jason Brice
Pelagian - 37 Rybovich with Capt. Erik Lorentzen

The numbers and what they mean: first is number of fish raised, the middle is number of fish bites, and lastly the number of fish released.

We use Cam Sigler fly poppers. So here's my report starting with April Fools Day - which wasn't any joke - these are the actual figures:

01 April:
Rum Line 49-5-2 on the fly

No not local. Client has large group travelling a couple of times a year. This time it was in Guatemala.

If you want to fish a fly tournament I have the Stu Apte in Guatemala - and we have two boats open. If you are a serious angler for this one, I can give you a great price. [url "http://www.stuapteflytournament.com"]www.stuapteflytournament.com[/url]
