Punta Allen fly fishing lodge for Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon in Ascension Bay Mexico.
Punta Allen Fly Fishing Ascension Bay Mexico
Ascension Bay offers over 20 square miles of uniformly shallow water with its famous flats of white sand, marl and turtle grass. It's a wade fisher's dream with Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon, Ladyfish and Barracuda. An added plus is the saltwater reef and offshore fishing where you encounter barracuda, king and sierra mackerel, grouper, jack crevalle, pargo, and little tunny, sometimes referred to as a false albacore.
Ascension Bay Fly Fishing Guide
The Mayan guides are excellent, their English is adequate and they know these waters like the back of their hands. Like most Bonefish guides, they have the eyes of a hawk. Expert seamen with seaworthy agile pangas, they are able to put you into Bonefish twenty minutes from the lodge, though most destinations are about 45 minutes.
Fly Fishing Gear: Rods and reels: 8wt, 9ft rods are the best all-around choice. A 10 wt is a good 2nd rod for larger fish and larger flies. Bring tropical, salt water floating line for the flats, and Fast sink-tip or shooting heads for the reef.
Lightweight spinning outfits 6-7 feet--filled with 4-8 pound test line--work for bonefish and permit. If you wish to test the reef fishing, bring 20-30 lb outfits with jigs and lures to match.
Ascension Bay Eco-Tours
Several exciting eco-tours are available at Cuzan. Our most popular half day boat excursion takes you to a rookery of magnificent frigates. In the winter months, the males are displaying their balloon- like red pouches while soaring over the mangrove island where they live. Winter months also assure another island laden with birds to visit with our boat excursion.
Both birding trips are usually rounded off with snorkeling and/or spin fishing, custom all day tours can also be arranged on arrival. Another possibility is a kayaking/camping adventure via our neighbors at Adventuras Tropicales. You can visit their site below for more info.
