The Americans introduced trout to Panama during the Canal Days, and they loved it. Eventually, trout were spawned in every river in the country (and there are lots of them). Trout farms are abundant, and this one is just across the river from my property, is a trout farm where you can fish for $2.50 plus $1 per fish you catch and keep (catch and release is no charge).

My friend Gary took me there one day recently, and I caught 5 (but they were only 1-2 pounds so I tossed them back. BIG ones are about 5 pounds). There’s a guy who fishes every day from a nearby river, and in the afternoon you will see him on the side of the road displaying his catch. You can buy them for $1 apiece.

My technique is bound to improve with practice.

My friend Gary the angler.
