Talapia Nets & Safety:
  • • As Lake El Salto is one of the nation’s largest tilapia fisheries, from September through May of each year tilapia nets are put down twice each month, typically from the 5th-10th and the 15th-25th.
  • • When the nets are down, fishing can still be excellent, though some fishing spots are harder to access. While some anglers opt to schedule their trips when the nets are not down, many go regardless and 90% of the time those anglers catch just as many fish and of comparable or larger size. So, this should not make or break your travel plans.
