I am just starting to recover (and dry out) from our most recent hosted trip to the Mexican Yucatan. Despite the weather, I find myself in awe of how great the fishing really was. Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the new, and vastly improved, Tarpon Cay Lodge, […]

Today, I want to take a moment to highlight our newest hosted travel locations: Bahia De Suenos, Mexico with Fly Fish Mex and Fishwest. The Location: Located in the East Cape region of Baja California Sur, Mexico, and situated on Baja’s Sea of Cortez, the Bahia De Suenos and surrounding […]
The 14th annual Fly Fishing Film Tour is hitting the road and headed to Salt Lake City with a fresh catch of new films. Featuring exclusive shorts from our friends coast to coast, and beyond, we’ll tell the stories of everything from fishing guide fairytales, to serial steelhead semantics, canyon […]
Tabasco is the state in Mexico that lies along the curve of the Gulf, just below the Yucatan. Offshore oil is big business there and it is not on the radar of most tourists nor fly anglers. Nevertheless, based on a trip I took in early July, here are 12 […]
For the second year in a row I had a chance to take part in the Fishwest trip to the Northern Yucatan town of San Felipe to fish for sabalitos (Spanish for baby tarpon) with the great guides and staff of Yucatan Fly Fishing Adventures at their outfit, the Tarpon […]
Utah-based photographer Douglas Barnes (www.nowpicturethis.com) shares just a few of the amazing photos that he captured on a recent trip to Xcalak, Mexico. If you like what you see, you can join Fishwest on a hosted adventure to Xcalak in April 2016.
I live in the Canadian province of Manitoba, a land blessed with hundreds of thousands of lakes. However, in the whole province, there is only one lake with a reasonably catchable population of largemouth bass. It’s certainly not a huge population and – judging by my catches – it’s a […]
I’ve been to a fair number of baby tarpon spots but I finally got a chance to spend three July days chasing them in Campeche, Mexico. Here’s a sample… 5:35 AM: The hotel van driver drops me off at the pier in total darkness. I’m a little worried ‘cause the […]
I watched the trailer for “Running Down the Man” and I was hooked. I like wading for bonefish. I like running for fitness. What could be better than sprinting down some beach after a large, exotic-looking roosterfish? After a fair bit of research, I booked a trip with Grant Hartman […]
Editor’s Note: Dave Zanardelli from Pennsylvania recently returned from the 2014 Fishwest hosted trip to Tarpon Cay Lodge in San Felipe, Mexico in cooperation with Yucatan Fly Fishing Adventures. Here is what he said to say about his experience: Tarpon Cay Lodge, in cooperation with the Hotel San Felipe de Jesus, […]
(A sample of the fishing and – the non-fishing – in Cabo San Lucas.) To me, a “non-fishing” vacation involves fishing – just not the majority of the time. So even for a “non-fishing” vacation, I research the fishing possibilities well before any flights get booked. And I’m sure you […]
I find myself reflecting on my first international fly fishing adventure. One of my biggest concerns going in was the safe transportation of my gear to my destination. My experiences traveling around the US and internationally playing hockey have taught me to expect the worst with any checked luggage. Countless […]
