There was a topic started on Boquete.Ning.com regarding fly fishing in Boquete. When I think of fly fishing I think of trout. Both Boquete and Volcan have trout farms and I decided to see if I could find some trout.
Lacking a fly, a fly rod and the propensity to stand in a cold and rather unpredictable river, I used my car and found my trout cleaned ready for the griddle.
I knew that the restaurants did not have assigned fisherman, so I sought out their source and discovered that if you are willing to forage into Los Naranjos you too can catch trout by the pound.
Drive into Los Naranjos past the stadium and look for a market on the left side of the road.
Then pull over an on your right you will see a white picket fence, the house of trout.
Walk in and look for the house on your left, enter the office and place your order. Trout fillets $3.75 pound with no minimum order, my first order was for one pound, two fish. I returned the next day for five pound and had a chance to talk to some of the staff.

They confirmed the rumor that they are raising salmon and should have locally grown salmon available for sale before the end on 2010. Yum!
