Tapam takes four anglers at a time to a lagoon and river system on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast, two hours by speedboat from Bluefields, and has an exclusive agreement with the local community to fish there. Two anglers share each panga, casting 11- and 12-weight rods to adult tarpon, most above 50 pounds and many beyond 100, often while the fish are chasing mullet; snook and jacks are caught along the way. The camp opened in the mid-2010s, stayed shut through the pandemic years and reopened in 2025.
February to June
Big migrating tarpon show up from mid-February, and March to May is the best time. March and April are mostly dry, and by late May there are short, heavy showers.
