Flyfishing around Romana/Bayahibe?

Flyfishing LaRomana

Forget the bonefish out that way....you aren't going to find them. Snook is another matter. If you speak spanish you can hook up with some of the locals to take you out to fish the Chavon. Nice snook there. Poppers work great on the edges if you are going to flyfish. What you will likely hate, however, is some of the tour boats and "skiers" that rip up and down the river (depending on the day). So get out way early in the morning or for a couple hours at dusk and you should have some action.

FYI....a 56# snook (yes...56#) was caught on a handline in this river in 1995 by one of the locals...so some big ones are in there.

Tons of flats out of Bayahibe east towards the Parque Nacional del Este and just North of Isla Saona...I know it is excellent in that area, but very few people know about it..I know this area is visited by many flats fisherman from Puerto Rico that "discovered"this pristine area years ago, but there is very little in the way of organized fishing tours to the area. I would suggest to go to the villiage of Bayahibe and ask the local fisherman if any of them would take you out that way..could become a great adventure! Good Luck.
