Isla Blanca Cancun (Mexico)
General Information:
Located just a 20-minute drive from Cancun, Isla Blanca has access by the sea to a rich fishing area of over 60 square miles. Vast flats, beautiful beaches and paradise islands are home to permit, tarpon, snook and bonefish.
This is a quiet area, without any fishing pressure and virgin natural surroundings. Anglers have an excellent chance of getting a super grand slam (Permit, Bonefish and Tarpon or Snook) in a single day or in a few days of fishing. The fishing area covers the south from the flats of Chacmuchuc lagoon reaching the north up to Cayo Raton, Punta Iglesias and Cabo Catoche (Holbox Island). To the east, up to Contoy Island.
Isla Blanca has proved to be the perfect destination for those who want to spend a day or two of fishing while they are on a family vacation in Cancun or for those wishing to fish an easy-to-reach destination with very good fishing and reasonable prices.
There are lots of islands, flats, mangrove channels and creeks that hold the most targeted species of the Caribbean all year round.

Tackle and Equipment:
We suggest bringing one 8 weight rod for bonefish and one 9 or 10 weight for permit, baby tarpon and snook. High-performance reels with a good brake system are required, capable of holding 200 - 250 yards of backing. Weight forward floating fly lines; an Intermediate line is recommended for baby tarpon. For bonefish and permit, use 9 or 10-foot knotless leaders, 10 to 12-pound test.
Bonefish fly selection should include Crazy Charlie, Gotcha or any shrimp-like pattern on hooks 8 or 6 in tan, pink and white with flashabou. For permit: Brown Special, Fuzzy Crab, Rag Head Crab, Mc Crab on hooks sizes 6 or 4, in tan with white legs, brown and sand. Both for bones and permit the flies shouldn't be too weighted.

Additional Information:
The fishing area produces fish all year round but peak months are March through September. Fishing starts very early in the morning. We suggest bringing neoprene boots to wade the flats, lightweight clothes, a wide-brimmed hat to be protected from the sun, polarized sunglasses, a lightweight rain jacket, sunblock SPF 40 or higher and a good fly selection. Anyway, our guides can provide you with fly tied by themselves, which have proved to be very effective in the area. They cost from $ 2.50 US to $ 3 US each. If you can't bring your own gear, we will provide it for an additional charge of $20 US per day.
