River fishing in the Macal River near San Ignacio?

bwd61

I was wondering if there is any decent fishing in the Macal River near San Ignacio? If so, what might I catch?

I'm not a fisherman but I thought the whole point was casing a line and finding out what was there?  :)

Hi, the fish in the Macal river are not safe to eat since the building of the dam so beware!

Thanks Mangoman,
I wouldn't eat anything I caught, just wondering what I might expect to catch and would it be worth my time to give it a try?

stuff like catfish, tilapia, snook and other species. Happy fishing.
