Rich and Gaby Cahill who run Panamacanalfishing.com are great people and excellent guides.

Fish in beer batter, tortillas, cabbage and a chipotle sauce.... The fishermen at the public boatramp in Gambo offer a walk-up service and they will take you to the good spots waaaay out in the lake. We go regularly and in the dry season you can pretty much guarantee at least 20 peacock bass (our best day so far was... More
