Judy, the Lodge’s longtime owner, is pictured above with her world-record snook. Over the years, Rio Parismina Lodge has produced four IGFA world records for snook, a testament to its rich fishing grounds and skilled guides.
Anglers can choose between the Caribbean Sea, where tarpon, tuna, and wahoo abound, or the jungle waterways of Tortuguero National Park, home to snook, machaca, mojarra, and snapper. Fishing is always two anglers per guide, using the Lodge’s fleet of 21-foot, modified V-hull Ocean Craft boats, each equipped with well-maintained motors, marine radios, and fish finders. Knowledgeable, English-speaking guides ensure a safe and productive experience on the water.
