Río Guayape

Flowing through Olancho, Honduras, Río Guayape is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Río Guayape hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Río Guayape can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common snook

  When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Wahoo

  When trolling, vary your speeds and patterns to trigger strikes, especially along drop-offs or current edges.
