Never got any replies on inshore fishing in Ecuador. So lets try this.
Are there places to fish for Trout or whatever swims, close to Cuenca in the many rivers that flow around there?
Also can you buy casting rods to buy there or just fly fishing stuff? Was thinking of bringing a couple of casting reels.
Are there any fishing clubs nearby?

Are there any organizations that get together and take trips to different parts of the country for sightseeing, shopping, and/or hiking activities?

Thanks

Hello,

Yes, you can find fishing stuff in some Cuenca stores and There's some places you can fish trout, many of them in Cajas.

In fact I bought some equipment for my kids but I don't know how it works yet :D

Here is another adress for a fishing club: twofishheads@gmail.com

About organizations for shopping,tourism, I don't know. Usually people hire a tourist guide or helper. I work as a helper some times, too.
About hiking I get in contact with another american with the same idea but he is not coming back until next month and then see we can talk an start hiking.

So keep in touch.
Vinny
