Fishing
Fishing ( pesca deportiva ) for trout ( trucha ) in the lakes of the sierra is quite a widespread local hobby. A couple of the national reserves are well-known fishing spots, namely El Angel in the north and El Cajas in the south . Few tours to the Oriente forgo the chance of fishing for reputedly the world's most ferocious fish, the piranha ( pirana ), with nothing more sophisticated than a line, hook and bait. Take care when dehooking Oriente fish: some have poisonous spines discreetly tucked into their fins. Deep-sea fishing , a sport for the coast's wealthier people, is consequently less widespread, with Salinas and Manta as the main centres for hooking marlin, tuna, dorado and others.
