Fishing Program
In Ascension Bay, Mexico, we fish with two fly fishing guides in every boat. This means that each fly fishing angler will have individual attention from an accomplished fly fishing guide in how to effectively fly fish Ascension Bay. Many fly fishing anglers like to wade for bonefish and permit with one fly fishing guide while the other fly fishing angler and fly fishing guide target tarpon and snook from the boat. Our fly fishing guides know the Ascension Bay area intimately and have been guiding fly fishing anglers for over fifteen years. They are polite, friendly and speak excellent English.
Fishing Days start with coffee at 6:00am, followed by a hearty breakfast at 7:00am. Whenever you are ready to go fishing after breakfast, we will be ready. There is no due date on when you need to return to the lodge. The only caveat is be back for our dinner service!
