Hi Al,
there is a recreational zone where you are allowed to fish without a guide, this zone is Gran Roque and some other nearby islands. You may fish bonefish on all these islands including Gran Roque.
Everybody (almost) stay at Gran Roque and then you take a boat to another island for the day or fish at Gran Roque.

Thanks Lars!

I just want to bonefish. Where should I spend my time fishing?

It seems like you stay on Grand Rogue and make day trips to the bonefish spots…is this how it works??

Thanks a million!!!

Hi Al,
last time we stayed at posada Del Recuerdo and next time we will probably be at posada Dona Carmen. Both are lower end posadas but with A/C and private bathroom. They are reasonably priced – I thin we payed app. 40 USD per night per person including breakfast and dinner. This was in january, thins might have changed and the black market exchange rate is naturally crucial.

Could you elaborate on where you stayed and where you fished?

Many thanks!!

Hi, Now I can no longer recommend a woolly Bugger knowing that is has a rude meaning ;-( The wood for fire is brought to the cabins in the winter time by snow scooters as it is above the timber line so you need to stay at a cabin or bring gas stove or similar. We did not eat anything but trout caught by ourself, no sheep , no reindeer, no mice I am looking forward to your report

Hi,
Thanks, I tried searching for a wooly bugger but in England it has a slightly different (ruder) meaning haha.

I plan on writing a blog when I get back so I will send you the link.

Hardangervidda looks quite barren, how easy is it to find fire wood? Was fish the only animal you caught and ate? or did u trap any small mammals.

Hi Matt,
if I shall choose one fly for Hardangervidda it would have to be Streaking Caddis but Ialso had success with Woolly Bugger and Europe 12 as a dry fly. But as this was my first trip to Hardangervidda I can not claim to know much about the fishing later in the season. It is a beautiful area and you can look forward to a nice trip. It would be great if you write a small comment after your trip.

Hi Lars,

Just stumbled upon your blog. I’m off to hardangervidda in a couple of weeks.

What did you use to catch the trout?

Thanks.

Matt
