All of this for $3,685 ( over a $4,500 value) double occupancy. SLK has 10 rooms set aside for 11-14 October with afternoon arrival on the 10th.

Information about the lodge:

Silver King Lodge is the finest giant tarpon fishing lodge in the world. The area has year-round resident tarpon and is one of the best tarpon fisheries in the world. The Lodge is located on the Caribbean coast at the mouth of the Rio Colorado. You will fish from 23-foot boats custom made on site.  SKL provides equipment for bait, plug and fly fishermen.  Fishing the nearby lagoons for a day or half day is also an option, giving your arms a respite from the 100lb + tarpon, and getting a chance to see more of the Costa Rican wildlife. Your stay will include all meals, beer, wine, and liquor (except call brands).  Meals are served buffet style with cooked to order dishes for breakfast. Guestrooms are spacious and air conditioned.  The lodge has a pool and Jacuzzi free for use.   If you are so sore from catching these large fish, a massage can be arranged, putting you back into fighting form for the next day.

The cost of the trip is $3,685 for 4 full days fishing and 5 nights lodging. The normal rate is much higher (double occupancy)   This trip is open to all members and friends of members who are willing to update their membership with the Texas FlyFishers:  Membership.
