Join Rebecca Milne from May 9–15, 2027 for a hosted week at No Name Lodge in Puerto Rico, chasing permit, tarpon, and more along one of the most exciting and underrated saltwater fisheries in the Caribbean. This 6 night / 5 day fly fishing experience is priced at $5,750 per person based on double occupancy and includes a fully guided experience, transportation to and from San Juan Airport (SJU), lodge meals, use of camp equipment, and local rum and beers. Please note that there is also a tax of 9% on this trip through the outfitter. Guests will fish daily from a fleet of Maverick skiffs captained by trained and experienced guides who spend every day poling the island’s expansive flats, mangrove systems, and reef edges in search of tailing permit and laid-up tarpon.
No Name Lodge is currently the only dedicated fly fishing lodge operation in Puerto Rico, offering anglers an opportunity to experience an incredibly diverse and largely untouched fishery. After years of exploring new and unique destinations, the lodge owners settled on Puerto Rico for their second operation back in 2021, drawn by the island’s easy travel access, stunning natural beauty, incredible culture, and world-class fishing opportunities. The west coast of Puerto Rico offers a fishery unlike anywhere else in the Caribbean — technical enough to challenge experienced anglers, yet approachable and exciting for those newer to saltwater fly fishing.
No Name Lodge operates out of two separate locations: Boqueron (the flagship location) and Salinas. For this hosted week, we will be taking over the Salinas location. The Salinas lodge is right on the water, with a swimming pool in the back, and right smack in the heart of town. We have also carefully picked our week with what we hope to be a very productive moon phase for tailing permit.
Permit and tarpon are the primary target species throughout the week. The permit fishing is exceptional, with anglers commonly getting multiple legitimate shots per day. Depending on conditions, guests may spend time wading coastal flats or poling shallow reef and sand flats while searching for tailing fish and cruisers in crystal clear water. The tarpon fishery is equally unique, centered around a massive resident population of fish that live around the island year-round thanks to abundant bait and freshwater runoff. The overall setup feels reminiscent of classic Florida tarpon fishing, with mangrove shorelines, turtle grass, and sand flats, but Puerto Rico adds another dimension with opportunities to sight fish cruising beach tarpon in clear, shallow water. Fish generally range from 10–50 pounds, and unlike many tarpon fisheries, this is true visual fishing — no blind casting at rollers required.
A typical day at the lodge starts with coffee and breakfast prepared by the house staff before heading out with your guide for the day, although guests who are eager to get on the water early can also grab breakfast to-go and eat on the skiff. From there, you’ll load into the trucks and head to the boat ramp before spending the day stalking fish across shallow flats, mangrove shorelines, beaches, and reef systems. Lunch and boat beers are provided daily, and after fishing, guests return to the lodge for welcome drinks, relaxed evenings, and the occasional highly competitive ping pong showdown before heading out for dinner.
One of the most unique aspects of the trip is the overall experience off the water. Rather than being confined to a rigid lodge dining schedule every evening, most dinners are built around exploring the local town alongside your guides, who know the best hidden restaurants, waterfront spots, and authentic Puerto Rican favorites. Some nights may include group outings to local restaurants, while others may feature casual BBQ cookouts back at the lodge. The result is a much more immersive and authentic experience that allows guests to enjoy not only incredible fishing, but also the culture, food, nightlife, and atmosphere that make Puerto Rico so special.
Travel to the lodge is simple, especially at the Salinas location. Anglers will fly to San Juan (SJU) and take an hour and fifteen minute truck ride straight to the lodge. Ground transportation is included in the cost of the trip.
Space will be limited in order to keep the trip intimate and personalized. Whether your goal is to catch your first permit, jump a big tarpon, or simply spend a week immersed in great fishing, incredible scenery, and great company, Puerto Rico offers an unforgettable saltwater experience just a short flight from the mainland U.S.
