LOS ROQUES

Referred to as an archipelago, it is technically an unspoiled atoll that spans 36km east to west and 24.6km north to south, making it the largest marine park in the Caribbean Sea. There are hundreds of beautiful and pristine flats that form the perfect environment for fly fishing.  

 

Los Roques is considered one of the best bonefishing destinations in the world. You can expect a huge number of daily shots at fish with a solid average weight of 3 – 5lbs, with larger specimens of 6 – 10lbs also common. Beyond bonefish, increasingly Los Roques is being recognised as having a fantastic diversity of flats species to target. In lagoons and mangroves, juvenile tarpon of 5 – 30lbs can be found in good numbers, whilst channels and deeper flats hold larger tarpon of 30 – 80lbs. Also present are permit (of a good average size), triggerfish, jacks, barracuda and snook.  

 

Due to its location 12 degrees north of the equator, the tides, air and water temperatures vary little, which provides consistently excellent fishing conditions. Los Roques is known as ‘the’ place for a wading the flats trip. 90% of your fishing will be done on foot. With its huge range of fishable water, it truly is a wade fisherman’s paradise.  

 

Furthermore, Los Roques offers some of the most breathtaking and unspoiled scenery in the Caribbean. Here, the calm rhythm of nature invites you to slow down and forget the rituals of your daily life. In 1972 Los Roques was declared a National Park, and because of this the islands and reefs have been preserved in their pristine natural state. There are no cars; the village of Gran Roque is a quaint settlement composed of pastel-painted buildings and unpaved roads. The pace of everyday life is relaxed and it offers a friendly and laid-back atmosphere.
