[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Virtually unknown is the fresh water fishing for Largemouth Bass, Peacock Bass, Sunfish, Catfish and Tilapia. The Federal fish stocking programs are in effect in Puerto Rico and they do a good job of stocking the 20 man made lakes. There are numerous fishing clubs in the interior mountains. The most popular type of fishing is fly fishing for both Peacock and Largemouth Bass. There are several places to stay, most notably Casa Grande and Parador Hacienda Gripinas. The best camping in the area, near a lake, is at Toro Negro Reserve between lakes Matrullas and Guineo. See the camping page for more information.[/FONT]
