The Spot Light is on Casa Vieja!
The Fleet has been seeing a lot of action in December! Film crews have been on and off of our boats filming for their shows and having the experience of a lifetime!
Hilary from Trout TV had an amazing time at Casa Vieja Lodge. She managed to release a striped marlin on the fly and got to explore the great things that Guatemala has to offer! Hilary took a break from fishing and spent her last day at local surfing school and tried her luck fishing of a beautiful rock jetty at sunset.
Yellow Dog Fly Fishing Adventures joined Hilary on her trip to the Lodge and it exceeded all of their expectations! They realized that Casa Vieja is not just a place to come and fish but it is a place to spend quality time with your family and make new friends!
