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.

You're not really hitting the season right for the East cape. April-July for roosters is prime, they just arent really there right now. You might find some cruising the shore, but more likely you will need to book a boat to go out and find any. . Ill be in Mag bay starting this weekend for a week. Marlin are on fire this year and some of the biggest schools seen in a long time, and we have a great rooster spot, but you arent getting there without a boat also. Not sure if you can find a "day" boat out of Mag, We go for a week with Mag bay lodge, then also hire a long time baja fly guide who knows everything from east cape to mag and has been down there for 15+ years to make sure the trip goes great. Last year was incredible, and the fishing reports we are hearing for this year, have me chomping to get out of this snow and down on the bluewater
