Rockstone River landing, almost 18 miles from McKenzie, has become a famous fishing community that annually hosts the Rockstone Fish Festival, a two-day event that brings thousands to the usually quiet river community to fish in its teaming waters.
Sport fishing enthusiasts from Guyana and around the world, would assemble each year to fish for haimara, bassa, arawana,arapaima, lukanani, hassa and perai, among others, camping out with the many spectators who arrive to watch the event or take part in other activities that include fish cooking and fish catching contests, along with swimming, log rolling and kayaking contests.
The festival was inaugurated September 2006, and has become a major event in Guyana’s tourism calendar, offering prizes, trophies, and best of all, bragging rights. (Photos courtesy Ministry of Tourism)
