River | Costa Rica Fishing Report from FishingNosara

June 26, 2014

Javier scored a HUGE Snook today at the Nosara River Mouth! Estimated at just over 30lbs., this is one of the biggest lunkers of the season so far for the Fuppernos.

The whole beach stopped what they were doing to get a picture with the behemoth.

Great work by Javier (aka Rey Robalo) on this fantastic catch!

Nice fish, Manuel…but I know we taught you how to take pictures a little better than this! Jajajaj

Javier and the boys from Fuppernos (Friends of the River) are on point keeping the area clean.

The seasonal rains rolling through the mountains makes all the refuse roll down to the river… thankfully the Fuppernos are on the job to protect this fragile community resource.

Also some big news for all friends of the Nosara River: after much lobbying and patience the government has recognized the Boca del Rio Nosara as a certified ‘Blue-Flag Zone’.

Symbolized by this new flag at the entrance, this means steep fines and possible imprisonment for nare-do-wells who dump toxins or other chemicals into the river.

This is a big step in the right direction and all the credit is due to Javier and the Fuppernos…these guys and girls understand that a clean river is vital to the future of the community and will now be protected for the next generation of river anglers:

The action at the mouth of the Rio Nosara has been off the great this month.

Local angler Carl Wells showed his stuff with some excellent catches of Snook and Permit:

Also local legend Chimpy snared a MASSIVE Cuberra Snapper in the surf:

Local man Yahaira Jimenez also shared some of his big action:

Read more and get involved with the cause by visiting the Fuppernos Facebook page and do your part…if you are in town visiting for a few days why not give back to the Nosara community by pitching in on a river clean-up?

Martin Ramirez (left) and Javier Hernandez led the charge as usual this month.

Local Legend Chimpy also clocked many hours at the river mouth and has these great fish to show for it:

Our old pals Cumi and Manuel also registered excellent Permit and Snook catches at the rio:

Javier also brought along son Dario for a few fishing adventures and brought home some good-eatin’ permits:

River Fishing Report – October 2013

You didn’t think that the rainy season was all work and maintained for the boys in Nosara, right?

They made time this off-season for a field trip to the Caribbean coast to fish the Rio Colorado River mouth. Check out this adventure:

The boys brought their ace reels from Nosara and deployed the Snook catching skills that have made them famous. Check out these monster Robalos:

Of course the Fuppernos are super active keeping up with the trash back home at the Nosara River mouth…it’s a family affair with Javier and son Dario joined by uncle Grevan. Great work boys!

River Fishing Report – July 2013

The River has been full of great action this month with Snook and other yummy species finding the hooks.

Take a look at these beauties:

That’s what I call bringing home the bacon!

After many months of pleading by the Fuppernos, the government sent some scientists and officials to test the river water for contamination.

There are suspicions that poachers upstream are using chemicals to harvest fish from the river and that is obviously dangerous to all Nosarenos.

The scientists took samples and are currently running them at a government laboratory.

Also the Fuppernos (Friends of the River) are staying on task by keeping the river clean and free of garbage; the return of the seasonal rains means that lots of junk is flowing down the mountain and only through the vigilance of the Fuppernos can the river thrive.

Recently the rains also brought a treat: this amazing triple rainbow! What a great blessing:

Alejandro Garcia is the newest member of our team at Nosara Paradise Rentals and FishingNosara and has already established himself as a super ambassador of the pura vida spirit. Turns out Alejandro is a bad-to-the-bone river fisherman as well.

It’s fair to say he had a great weekend of fishing. On Saturday he hooked up this nice Cuberra Snapper:

Then on Sunday he brought in this monster Snook:

Whoa! This monster tips the scale at just over 30lbs.

That’s what I call bringing home the bacon!

Thanks to Pipin, Marina, Manuel, Rosi, Joaquin and Juan Luis for their help this month.

River Fishing Report – April 2013

The action in the Costa Rican rivers moves as quickly as the freshwater pours from the mountains into the sea. The Fuppernos (Friends of the Nosara River) report lots of excellent catches this month, but let’s start with a catch from the nearby town of Samarra.
