World-class fishing on the Panama Canal and Gatun Lake just 45 minutes outside Panama City.Early this morning you will be picked up at your hotel in Panama City. Enjoy a scenic 45 minute drive through the old Panama Canal Zone, driving by two sets of the Panama Canal Locks (Miraflores and Pedro Miguel Locks) and then through lush, pristine rainforest to Gamboa at the junction of the Chagres River and the Panama Canal.
You will have the opportunity to catch Peacock Bass and to troll for snook and tarpon. Peacock Bass, an introduced species in Gatun Lake is a world renowned, sought after, game fish. The younger 2 to 3 pounds Peacock bass are abundant in these waters and swim in schools along certain selected areas in the lake.
You can count on the gentle instruction and natural friendliness of our guides. En-route to the best fishing spots, the boat allows for close approximations to rainforest covered islands (former hill tops) in Gatun Lake to search for White-faced Capuchin, Mantled Howler Monkey, Central American spider monkey, and Geoffrey’s Tamarin.
