» General Information:
Our fly fishing guide service is located at the southern tip of Baja California known as East Cape. East Cape is on the Sea of Cortez side of the peninsula, hour north of the famed resort town of Cabo San Lucas. The protected waters of the Sea of Cortez are typically a much calmer nautical experience than fishing the offshore waters of the Pacific or Atlantic oceans. We offer a host of fly fishing packages and services that can be specifically tailored to any desire.
Cabo San Lucas offers world class off shore and inshore fishing opportunities. One of the advantages of fishing the offshore waters of Cabo San Lucas is that you not need to travel very far offshore to fish these productive fishing grounds. Marlin, dorado and yellowfin tuna are just a few of the fish species that can be caught in the offshore waters of Cabo San Lucas. The inshore waters of Cabo offer spectacular fishing opportunities for sierra, pompano, pargo and a variety of other inshore fish species.
Magdalena Bay is one of the best off shore fishing destination that the world has to offer during the months of November and December for off shore species such as stripe marlin, dorado, yellowfin tuna and wahoo; just to name a few! If you have dreamed about catching a Marlin on the fly, Magdalena Bay is where your dreams will come true. What makes Mag Bay so special and unique? For starters, it is very remote and hard to access. Its global positioning makes it too far and out of range for the majority of Cabo based fishing boats and even the long range boats from the United States consider Mag Bay to be out of range. The ecosystem is simply spectacular and life is abundant. It is not uncommon to see whales, thousands of dolphins, birds dive bombing bait balls, tuna crashing the surface, big dorado surrounding floating structures and countless free swimming marlin. Simply put, Magdalena Bay is bluewater fly fishing paradise. On Magdalena Bay fishing trips, each person can expect to have multiple shots at Marlin and a variety of other species. Fishing opportunities also exist inside Magdalena Bay for snook, spotted bay bass, broom tail grouper, corvina, and many other species. Our most popular guided trip options are "live aboard" trips. Staying on the boat gives you a huge advantage.
» Package:
We offer three distinctive zones in the Sea of Cortez: the beach, inshore and offshore. All trips include an American, English-speaking guide.
Beach Fly Fishing Trips: One of the most unique and spectacular aspects of fly-fishing the East Cape area is the miles and miles of accessible shore access. We offer daily guided beach trips with vehicle transportation to travel the beach in search of roosterfish, jack crevalle, pompano, ladyfish and other targeted inshore species.
Inshore Fly Fishing Trips: Inshore pursuits are performed from fast and agile pangas or cruisers that are able to cruise in shallow depths. Fishing inshore typically keys in on jack crevalle, roosterfish, pargo, sierra mackerel and other exotic species depending on the time of year.
Offshore Fly Fishing Trips: Offshore pursuits include big game fish such as yellowfin tuna, bonito, dorado, and billfish.

» Tackle and Equipment:
Fly Rods: 9' and designed for saltwater; a # 8 or # 9 Wt (beach, inshore for medium sized species to twenty pounds); a # 10 Wt (inshore and offshore for dorado, jack crevalle, bonito and some tuna), and a # 12 Wt for larger dorado and billfish species.
Fly Reels: should be matched to rods in weight and line capacity. Reels need to be saltwater quality with high performance drag features. All reels should have a minimum of 250 yards of 20 or 30 pound backing.
Fly Lines: Shooting head lines are utilized a majority of the time in our fly fishing pursuits. Integrated shooting head lines seamlessly mated to neutrally buoyant running lines cast and fish the best. One reel or spool with a floating line is a good thing to bring as well. When the dorado bite is really hot it is spine tingling to cast a popper on a floating line to boiling dorado.
Flies: Choosing flies for any trip is half the fun of the journey. Baja, Mexico saltwater fish are not extremely different from similar species around the globe. The standard tried and true baitfish fly patterns work well such as: large clousers, deceivers and others. There are East Cape patterns and variations that have been developed for fly fishing the area. Flies should range from size 4 for beach fishing up to 4/0 for offshore fishing.

Report
August 2010
The fishing is very good. Along the shore and from the beach the big roosters continue to be caught up to fifty pounds. Offshore it is a wide open Tuna bite. We continue to see good numbers of Dorado and Marlin and the Sail fish are starting to show in some decent numbers.
