Baja Fly Fishing

[307]

Anybody experienced in southern Baja throwing flies for roosters and dorado? Leaving in 2 days with a loosely planned week. Flying into San Jose del Cabo and have one night in the city before heading north towards Los Barriles. Mag bay may be a bit further than the wife wants to wander but we're leaving most options open.

Would like to fish from the beach with very low expectations of catching anything, but a day or two in a panga is on the list as well.

10 weight is loaded and ready for it's virgin trip to the salt.

Would love to hear how it goes! Wish I had some advice for ya, but I have only been eyeing Baja for an overland trip myself, no actual experience. The thought of bringing a fly rod or two along for the ride has definitely been kicked around. Hope you have a good time!

I haven't fished Baja but I'd love to go catch roosters. Last summer I was on my way back from Yucatan and chatted with a guy in the Seattle airport that had just come back from Baja chasing roosters, he said to tape up your feet because all the running and chasing on the sand just tears your fee tup after a bit. Just be ready to strip set and don't try to set the hook like you would on a trout.
