The name "Panama" comes from a local Indian language meaning "abundance of fish". The Chagres River and Gatun Lake offer some of the best freshwater sport fishing in the world. It's no secret that these two hotspots deliver unique fishing adventures for anglers from all over the world.

A successful
Panama Canal fishing trip is best accomplished through a good Panamanian fishing guide who knows the area and has spent years fishing these waters. That's where the Gamboa Rainforest Resort comes in.
