Is there good fishing in and around Nicaragua?

Fishing in Nicaragua has four faces: deep sea in the Pacific Ocean, large lake in Lake Nicaragua, river fishing in the Rio San Juan, and flats and lagoon fishing on the Caribbean coast. All four boast world-class locations and opportunities including the Rio Indio Lodge where the world’s rich and famous come to sample the rivers and Caribbean coast.

I don’t generally go fishing but recently we went to Rio San Juan, which is the river that divides Costa Rica and Nicaragua and there is a big fishing competition there. People from other countries and also the locals join the fishing competitions. There are also nice places in San Juan del Sur where people go fishing on the ocean. Local people in Granada go fishing in the marina. Some people also have their own boats and that’s where...
I don’t generally go fishing but recently we went to Rio San Juan, which is the river that divides Costa Rica and Nicaragua and there is a big fishing competition there. People from other countries and also the locals join the fishing competitions. There are also nice places in San Juan del Sur where people go fishing on the ocean. Local people in Granada go fishing in the marina. Some people also have their own boats and that’s where they go fishing. You can also go fishing in Isla Zapatera, which is also on the Lake Nicaragua. You can go fishing on the ocean in San Juan del Sur and in Rio San Juan. You can rent a boat and have a boatman accompany you to tell you what you need. They rent out boating gear and you can bring your food or a couple of beers while you fish.
We have Lake Managua but people in general do not go there to fish. Some people do it just out of necessity but it is not a tourist spot and the water is polluted. They’re in the process of cleaning the waters of Lake Managua because it has been polluted by the people over the last several years. The countries of Spain and Germany made contributions to have a treatment center so that the water does not go to Lake Managua so it’s getting cleaner after the treatments.
