Dear Marion,
As you might of guessed, we again had a great time. This was our forth trip. If you base any trip solely on how many fish you catch, you are sure to be disappointed. We all caught fish- everyone in the group took at least one. Several of our men took a token Tarpon and spent the rest of their time on the rivers. They weren't disappointed! They took enough Snook to feed the entire camp and saw enough wildlife to start a Zoo! This all in a setting that looks like something Hollywood created.
The camp itself seems to get better every time. The cabins, dining facilities, staff and, of course Judy treats every group as though they were close family. Where can you start and stop praising a trip like this. Roberto met us at the airport on time and met our every request. The guides are all helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Wait staff seemed to anticipate our needs. The rooms are spotless. The grounds could rival an English garden. Fernando and Judy are maestros-orchestrating a motivated staff of 35.
A big thank-you from all of us to all of you.

Dear Marion,
Thank you and Judy again for the wonderful trip. It was perfect in every way. I hope you can see to it that Judy gets a copy of the story. It was one we dreamed up at Happy Hour one evening and everyone at the Lodge was following our success through the day .Thanks again,

Dear Judy,
I just wanted to follow-up on our recent trip to Paradise. Everything at Rio Parismina Lodge was outstanding. From the moment we arrived, it was perfect. The video we obtained is far better than we anticipated with may of the Tarpon jumps at point blank range. We will be able to edit some world class video from our trip. Please tell everyone, especially your guide Melvin, thank you for making us feel at home. I am looking forward to our next trip to Rio Parismina Lodge (it will be my 4th!) The hospitality,service, personal attention to every detail and of course the "Silver King" was all we hoped it would be. Thanks for providing us with 10 days of exhausting relaxation.

Dear Judy,
I want to personally thank you for a wonderful time at your lodge. Every time I’m there, I have a better time than the last. You and your staff do a fantastic job of making our stay so pleasurable and accommodating.It is hard to explain the type of atmosphere that you created in a special part of the world to other people. The best way for me to get the message across is to say that I can’t wait to get back next year. Please thank your staff and all the great guides for me again and thank you very much for being a wonderful hostess and a friend.
-Respectfully Yours,Tom Godby
Dear Judy,
I just got back from the best fishing trip that I have ever been on. After hearing how good the fishing has been at R.P.L. I at the last minute decided to take a chance. I fished Nov. 8th through the 14th. The weather was great, the ocean was flat as it gets. Good cloud cover and only 2 hours of rain. The wind came up after lunch one day and it was the only time I didn't go out because it was very choppy.The fishing was UN believable. I fished alone with Sidney using Sardines on circle hooks. We boated and released over 85 Tarpon, the biggest being 7-1/2 feet (which I measured using the rod) and figured the weight to be at least 150#. Most of the others were 70-90 lbs. with some being over 100. We had more than 200 fish up and out of the water, some on for a long time, others off fast. My hands are still puffed up and I can ’t make a fist with the right one and I haven ’t fished for two and a half days. I don ’t have to tell you about the food and the service, you have been there. Just wanted you to know how great it was.
