Black River Safari

Inland Fishing · St. Elizabeth

Rating: 4.5 / 5

The lower Black River, before it empties into the Caribbean at Black River town in St. Elizabeth, is a brackish wetland that holds tarpon, snook and snapper alongside its famous resident American crocodiles. A small number of local guides combine light-tackle and fly fishing with the traditional two-hour wildlife safari, making for an unusual inland charter option. The best conditions are generally in the dry season (December to April) when water levels are lower and sight fishing becomes possible along the mangrove edges.
