Bt- I've probably done a dozen trips to Costa Rica but never to Guanacast. As a whole, the country is very tourist friendly, the fishing operations very well equipped and generally pretty reasonable. Don't bother lugging fishing tackle yourself, the charters have everything. August starts the rainy season, I think Guanacast is drier than the rest of the country, but don't be surprised by rain. I went mid-August one year, it rained everyday for a while, but it is warm and we still had a blast. Be sure to post when you get back, looking forward to your report.
