Being part of the new generation of guides in Puerto Rico, I strive to leave my mark on the island’s fishing industry by performing to the best of my abilities every time I’m on the water.

Growing up in Puerto Rico, it’s easy to take for granted the amazing fishery that surrounds the island. Inshore fishing can often be overlooked and outshined by the offshore fishing, but I aim to give the island’s fly fishing capabilities its rightful place in the spotlight. After spending time learning from the island’s veteran guides and traveling around to different fishing destinations to learn from the best, I’ve set out to start my own business at 24 years old, opening one of the only local owned fly charters on the main island of Puerto Rico.

If you’re looking to have a good time on the water with someone who takes pride in how hard he works, look no further. Let Fernando have the pleasure of having you on the boat, showing you some fish and sharing a lot of laughs along the way!...
