Fly fishing Mexico’s Chetumal Bay – The fishing day

When Fly fishing Mexico’s Chetumal Bay, the fishing day proceeds like this:

Generally breakfast is served from 6:00 AM to 6:30 AM and boats generally leave no later than 7:00 AM. At certain tides you may want to leave earlier, or when you are targeting permit. There are never more than two fisherpersons per boat and the guide can accommodate the departure wishes of the clients. We have over 30 productive flats and lagoons. If you desire you can fish the same flat more than once during your six days of fishing. Our guess is you will want to keep exploring new locations, with each having its own special character and beauty.
