In this episode of Waypoints, we head to the heart of Central America for a deep dive into one of the most diverse and exciting fly fishing destinations in the world: Costa Rica. Host Jim Klug is joined by Chuck Hill and Marvin Rodriguez, the founders of 4 Corners Costa Rica - an innovative outfitting operation that offers an incredibly-diverse line-up of options and itineraries for fishing this extraordinary country. From the tarpon-filled jungle rivers of the Caribbean coast to the Pacific’s roosterfish and bluewater species, 4 Corners has built a seamless, multi-location program that combines serious fishing with immersive cultural experiences. For traveling anglers looking to chase a wide range of exotic species while experiencing the full breadth of Costa Rica’s beauty and hospitality, this is the ultimate custom-built adventure.

Over the course of the episode, Jim, Chuck, and Marvin explore what makes Costa Rica such a unique angling destination - from the logistics of switching coasts in a single itinerary to the details of their personalized approach to customized trip planning. Listeners will hear about the different fisheries, the species available year-round, the gear needed to target everything from giant tarpon to jungle snook and offshore marlin, and off course advice on how to plan the ultimate Costa Rican getaway. Whether you’re a Costa Rica fishing veteran or new to Central American angling, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how 4 Corners is changing the way people experience fly fishing in Costa Rica - one unforgettable corner at a time.

After the success of the 2024 Belize and 2023 Baja Bluegrass events, we’re excited to bring the experience back to Belize for 2025. Join us November 4–9 at El Pescador Lodge on Ambergris Caye for a five-night, all-inclusive fishing, beach, and bluegrass getaway—exclusively for 30 couples.
