Tierra Maya
The Chetumal Bay flats in Xcalak are vastly larger than those of Ascension Bay further north, offering the fly fisherman more opportunities for more fish. The Chetumal Bay flats produce profound numbers of Bonefish & Permit ~ Guide Victor CastroHotel Tierra Maya, located on the Costa Maya in Xcalak Mexico, is a small, privately-owned and operated hotel & resort located 2 km north of the fishing village of the same name. Adjacent to the Bay of Chetumal, you'll find bonefish and permit in solid numbers. The myriad of lagoons and waterways hold large numbers of juvenile tarpon and snook. It is possible to attain the “Super Grand Slam” meaning one fish of each species in a single day.
This diverse location lies on the Meso American Reef, the second largest in the world and home to some of the largest coral gardens in the world. This is a beautiful and remote location. Tierra Maya brings this new world home with its personal brand of courteous service.
Fishing
Centering around the famed Chetumal Bay, the fishing offered at Tierra Maya can be the best in the entire Yucatan. Bonefish roam the flats, protected by the coral reef that surrounds the entire bay, while permit, and lots of them, hide in the lagoons and island waterways within the bay. The bonefish range from 3 to 5 pounds with the occasional bruiser up to 10 pounds. The ubiquitous permit, the holy grail of the salt, are found in groups as they grow and in singles and pairs as they reach maturity. The fishing is done both from the bow of the skiff or panga and by wading, where stealth is the name of the game. When you’ve landed your bonefish and permit then you’re ready to step up to the super slam, that is, a bonefish, permit, tarpon and snook all on the fly in a single day. At Tierra Maya the guides are simply the best local guides available. They work for you to insure your salt water experience is top notch.
Let Castafly Travel put together an equipment package, including flies and terminal tackle that will insure success. Remember to leave some flies for the guide who made it all possible, he’ll thank you heartily.
