Venezuela Fly Fishing Lodges

Beginning in 2019, escalating political tensions between the United States and Venezuela led to the closure of the U.S. Embassy in Caracas and the suspension of commercial airline service between the two countries. While the Los Roques fishery itself remained open and active, these diplomatic and travel restrictions effectively halted travel for U.S. anglers for the past seven years, and as a result, Los Roques largely disappeared from the radar of American anglers.

Now, travel access appears to be improving, which means that Los Roques can once again deliver incredible opportunities for anglers to experience a vast, lightly pressured fishery that still ranks as one of the premier flats fisheries on the planet. For decades, Los Roques was considered one of the crown jewels of Caribbean flats fishing. Many anglers who traveled to the archipelago pre-2019 still talk about the miles of empty flats, massive bonefish, and the incredible variety of fishable water. With travel options for U.S. anglers moving in a positive direction for the near future, Los Roques is once again part of the conversation as one of the most exciting saltwater destinations available to adventurous anglers.
