Venezuela
Los Roques
Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit and Deep Sea Fishing
Venezuela offers some of the finest bonefishing and tarpon fishing in the world. The country has the advantage of having more stable weather systems than many other bonefish destinations and is home to large tarpon, bonefish, permit and jacks. The endless flats hold large numbers of bonefish and large tarpon and even the occasional snook are to be found in the shallow lagoons and estuaries. Your holiday can be either a flats fishing for bonefish, tarpon and permit or a mixture of bonefishing, tarpon and deep sea fishing as set out below. A holiday combining bonefishing in Los Roques and tarpon fishing on Laguna de Tacarigua can also be arranged along with any other arrangements you might wish to make in Venezuela.
