Cancun Fly Fishing Ascension
Bay
 Ascension
Bay Fishing Lodge opened its doors on January
1996 and has quickly become one of the Yucatan's most popular fishing
destinations and with good reason. The lodge is located 90 miles south
of Cancun in the 1.3 million acre Sian Ka'an (Mayan for 'where the sky
is born') Biosphere Reserve. Situated on a long, narrow strip of barrier
beach, the lodge is virtually surrounded by water. To the east lies the
blue Caribbean and a few hundred yards off shore, the Palancar Barrier
Reef which stretches from southern Belize to north of Cancun. On the western
side lies the vast 'El Rio' system of flats, channels and mangrove. 10
miles to the north is the famed inlet through the barrier beach known
locally as the 'Boca'. And 4 miles to the south lies the incomparable
Ascension Bay. The entire area boasts some of the Caribbean's greatest
flats fishing for bonefish, permit, snook, tarpon and others, as well
as reef and offshore fishing (in season).
 World
Class describes Ascension Bay and Bocapaila flats fly
fishing. Hundreds
of square miles where it’s common to see bonefish,
permit, tarpon and
barracuda in the same day, all year round! With seasons for migrants
tarpon and snook. That’s why probably more fly
fishing Grand Slams have been caught here than anywhere else. You certainly have to bring
tackle for all this species an at least 3 rods to be ready any time.
You
will need to Fly to Cancun, Mexico, and plan on arrival between 11:00
am and 2:00 PM Cancun time. Cancun is serviced by numerous domestic carriers
including American, Continental, and US Air, and non stop flights are
available from Miami, Dallas, Houston, Newark, Denver, LA and several
other cities. Connections from most US cities permit arrivals before 2:00
PM.
