So as I have previously posted, Deb and I are going to Nicaragua in January for 2 weeks and are planning to fish both Lake Nicaragua (fresh water - Tarpon, Gar, Snook, Rainbow Bass, etc.) and Salt (Inshore - roosters, etc.). The dilemma is we are limited with how much gear we can travel with as we are the "backpacks & chicken bus" style of travellers. So where I'm at thus far is I have decided that we will take 8 wt & 10 wt rods/reels (fresh/salt lines??) and I need to streamline flies (with the caveat as we've only fished for inshore salt species previously). Can anyone please provide me with some specifics as to what cross over flies to cover as many species as possible). It might not be possible so we might have to limit our outlook.
For the most part we will be trying DYI on Lake Nicaragua but might have to consider hiring a guide and are open to that... If anyone has any info on DYI that would be appreciated as well.
Any other fishing info would be appreciated as well
Thanks,
P
