Hey guys,
This summer I will be going on a trip to Central America, specifically Cozumel, Belize, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, to do 2 credits for school. I am looking for people to weigh in on wether or not I should bring a fly rod and gear down to fish during the trip. There is a considerable amount of travel involved from country to country, and all that gear would limit the amount of other things I could bring such as clothes since the plane limit is 50 pounds, but I don't want to regret not bringing my gear once im there.
I was thinking about bringing a 10'7wt, 8wt reel and a few boxes of flies. Has anyone done do-it-yourself flyfishing in any of those 4 countries, and is it worth the risk of getting about $300 of gear stolen and the extra weight to fish those locations?
All opinions welcome,
Thanks
