Fly Fishing Trip and Lodge Details:

El Pescador has been recognized by top anglers for over 25 years. Catering to all types of fishermen, the lodge specializes in light tackle, salt water, fly fishing for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit and Jack Crevalle. The shallow water contains the only classic tarpon flats outside of south Florida. The Flats are also world renowned for the opportunity to site cast to tarpon 12 months per year.
The colonial style lodges, situated on a private coconut studded beach, is slightly isolated and away from the hustle and bustle of crowds yet close enough to San Pedro to enjoy a day shopping or an evening in town.

Accommodations for 28 are clean and comfortable with private baths, overhead fans and air-conditioning.

Buffet style meals are a delightful blend of both local and American dishes consisting of fresh seafood, a meat selection, potatoes, rice or pasta, fruit, vegetables, a garden salad and home baked bread.

The Fishing:

From casting platform of shallow draft skiffs; very limited wading.

The Bonefish Grounds are 10 to 20 minutes from the lodge and the tarpon flats start 20 minutes from there. Most of the bonefishing is done from the bow of a boat but there are 4 or 5 flats that can be waded. The bones run from 2-5 pounds and are plentiful. The tarpon flats are 3-8 feet deep and are quite extensive, approximately 35 miles long by 15 miles wide. Needless to say one hunts for tarpon.

Permit are found on the bonefish flats, some of the shallow tarpon flats, as well as in waves coming over the reef. The permit range from 4-30 pounds with the majority being about 8-10 pounds and found in large schools. Jack Crevalle, Barracuda, Cobia and Snook are also found on the flats and in the surrounding mangrove lagoons.
