Happy New Year from Nicaragua

For Immediate Release

Feliz Año from all of us at Rio Indio Lodge. I know you all are in the middle of your winter months and don´t want to look at our picture on New Years Day, but you could have been here also!!!

Announcing our new rates for 2009:

This of course includes three meals a day, open rum bar in the evening, fishing (tackle, equipment, etc). You just need to bring yourself and a little "propina" for the staff and guides. Of course there is also kyaking, eco tours or the pool for non fisherman.

Fishing has been great for Snook during December and so far in January. Generally the period of their spawn. Guapote ( rainbow bass ) is always very good during the dry season in March, April and May. Tarpon are always here, but the best months are September and October. However the most exciting news is the construction of our long awaited airstrip. The Ministers of Tourism and the Interior are arriving Monday 1/12/09 at San Juan del Norte, along with the top Military Generals to announce to the villagers the new airstrip.

Now instead of a trip of 4 to 7 hours to arrive at the lodge it will be a mere 30 minutes. Of course there are those of us, myself included, who will miss the jungle ride in and out.
