We love everything about fishing in the panama canal. They picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off. Our guide was Abelardo Lopez, he is a walking history book on Panama. He was so helpful and interesting. We went to the locks after we had lunch and they cooked our catch for the day. Just being in the... More

We were picked up at our hotel on time and our guide spoke very good English. He was a wealth about Panama in general, not just the canal. We caught lots of fish and saw the huge canal ships.

My husband, my ten-year old son and I took a full-day tour, guided by Abelardo and Helio. It was immediately clear how knowledgable they both were about the lake. After only about 15-20 minutes we caught our first fish and when a spot would go quiet, we would leave and they knew the next spot to go. They were very... More

I booked a trip with Panama Canal Fishing through Gaby and Rich Cahill, it was fantastic. I was picked up at my hotel by my guide Abelardo and we drove for about an hour to the boat landing, where we met with the boat Captain Elio. Our journey through Lake Gatun and into the Chagres River took us by enormous... More

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Panama. Robert was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the fish and other animals which we saw. We caught a lot of fish though none no where as big as their web site shows in the photos. Mostly small to med size peacock bass. But it was a... More

Definitely worth a day trip while in Panama City. Rich is a great guide. Extremely knowledgeable, out-going and great sense of humor. His boats are very comfortable and the fishing is great. You can catch peacock bass until your arms fall off. My 2 friends used bait but I used my flyrod and had a lot of success. We spent... More

Rich and Gaby Cahill were very helpful and very easy to communicate with using email while setting up my trip. Roberto was able to pick me up from my cruise ship in Colon, drive me to the marina, fish for 5 hrs and return me to the ship well before I had to be back. Not only was fishing for... More
