Firstly, my apologies. My command of the German language is very limited, so my reply has to be in English.
The German Foreign Office should have a section on travel to Nicaragua on its web site. Here’s the equivalent link for the British one - http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/trave…central-america/nicaragua . It does contain the usual warnings you would associate with third world countries but, in particular, I would draw your attention to this section that highlights the increase in violent crime, particularly by criminals armed with weapons.
Is it overly cautious? Perhaps. But having visited Guatemala – a similar situation -five years after their civil war had ended I must admit I did find the presence of weapons and such official warnings unsettling.

Nicaragua has experienced a significant rise in thefts, break-ins and muggings since the beginning of 2008. Street crime is prevalent in Managua and occasionally occurs in other large towns. Violent crime is on the increase. Pickpockets and thieves operate on public transport. Robberies are common in and around bus terminals, both for local and international routes. Many criminals have weapons, and most injuries and deaths have resulted when victims have resisted. If you are robbed, you should inform the local police and obtain a signed and sealed copy of their report.
Taxi muggings, particularly against foreigners, are a relatively new and worrying trend. You should also be aware that there have been reports of "express kidnappings" occurring in Nicaragua involving passengers using unauthorised taxis, where cash is demanded for release a short while later.
Where possible use radio-dispatched taxis. If you are getting a taxi on the street, be sure to choose an authorised taxi, which has red plates. Only use taxis that have the driver’s identification number, name and photograph clearly visible on the dashboard. You should take note of the colour and number of the vehicle. Although it is customary in Nicaragua to share taxis with strangers, you are advised to try to arrange a private journey with the driver. Always negotiate the fare with the driver before the journey.
There have been several reports of cars being stopped and passengers assaulted at traffic lights in Managua. While stopping at traffic lights in Managua it is recommended to keep the windows of your car closed. Car doors should also be locked from the inside when driving.
You should not to travel on buses after dark.
You should take precautions when walking, particularly in the markets, bus stations and poorer areas of the town and especially in the vicinity of the old cathedral in Managua. Do not walk alone after dark.
You should be aware that that there have been reports of violent attacks against foreign nationals in their hotels or places of residence. We recommend that you use hotels that are staffed at the front desk 24 hours a day, have adequate uniformed security staff and security measures such as a front gate, a fenced perimeter and valuables safe in the room.
In addition there have been increased reports of credit card fraud. You are advised not to use credit cards unless necessary, and to request that your bank inform you of any excess activity on accounts.
Avoid wearing jewellery. Do not carry large amounts of cash, credit cards or other valuables.
Keep photocopies of valuables such as passports (including date of entry stamp), airline tickets, driving licence and travellers’ cheques separate from originals.
What little I can find suggests that the big game fishing is good and, I suspect, similar to that you would experience on the Pacific coast of Northern Costa Rica – Papagayo. There was a specific trip detailed on this thread - http://www.fishinginternational.com/location/nicaragua.htm - by an American travel operator and it appears that Marlin Magazine published an article in their October 2009 edition. Perhaps someone on the forum still has a copy? (There’s reference to it here - http://forums.marlinmag.com/sh…64701&highlight=nicaragua .) Or it may be worth posting an enquiry to some of the 'Stateside forums if no one else responds to your enquiry here.
As to Tarpon fishing, as well as Lake Nicaragua itself, there is I understand an established population in the San Juan River. There is a Frenchman, resident in Nicaragua, who organises trips there. And there’s also a British gentleman who organises trips from Northern Costa Rica to fish that area. There’s reference to it on this thread from another forum - http://www.worldseafishing.com…s/showthread.php?t=276973 , post 4. (This is his web site - http://www.nicaraguafishingsafari.com/index.htm.)
From a logistics viewpoint though you may find that flying into Liberia in Northern Costa Rica might be easier than flying into Nicaragua’s capital, Managua, coupled with the lengthy journey to the coast.
Just some further thoughts. Al Schaefer, who posts on this forum under the non de plume Marlinhunter2, may have some further information from the Guatemalan skippers he knows who occasionally fish tournaments in Nicaragua. There was reference to one here - Flor de Cana Tournament . And there's a possibility that my friend's skipper - his boat's berthed at Los Suenos in Costa Rica - may have some further information. They though have just left for a two week trip to the South, off the Coiba archipelago in Panama. I'll contact him when they return.
This was the French gentleman's site - http://www.nicaraguafishing.com/.
