Is fishing license required to fish? We will be staying by Lake Arenal for a week and I heard it is a great place to fish… Do we need a license?
Thanks.
I just came back from deep sea fishing in Los Suenos, and I was required to pay the $24 fishing license (good for 1 year). You would probably need to do the same. Call your hotel as they may be able to direct you properly.
According to the two people I consulted who live there and fish in Lake Arenal, a fishing license is NOT required.

There was an article on this in the tico times a few months back apparently the idea of a fishing license is new. The Tico Times has pretty informative fishing writer, the new guy takes you through the somewhat funny process of applying for the license.
OK, guys thanks. I think we will go and see but it looks like we don’t really need one.
Can’t wait to go back there in July!!!
Thanks all.
