Fabulous Bass Fly
Fishery Discovered on Lake Huites, Mexico Traditionally, the fabled bass lakes of Mexico have been
considered a plug casters paradise. For three decades, bass anglers, armed with stout
rods, heavy line and an assortment of wood plugs and lead sinkers, have trekked
"South of the Border" in hot pursuit of aggressive Mexican bigmouths.
On an early June
filming of his Walker's Cay Chronicles an ESPN angling travel
program, Flip Pallot proved that Huites' bass might assault a fly even better than the
traditional plugs used by baitcasting anglers. "This might be the finest
bass fishing show ever shot using fly rods instead of plug rods," offered Pallot.
"This was as fine a freshwater fishery as I've ever been to and I am so excited to
air this show. It may turn many ardent fly casters on to the fact that Mexico has been
untouched by anglers desiring to pursue bass on the fly. "These fish are so
aggressive and will readily attack an assortment of surface flies. Wait until you see the
slow motion action of big bass slurping flies off the surface and then trying to rid
themselves of the fly as they leap two feet out of the water with gills flaring." Lake Huites Lodge
owner Terry Hollan admits that he and his guides were a bit skeptical when Pallot told
them that he would like to exclusively fish for bass using only his fly gear. "At first, we were quite
leary when Flip expressed his interest to fly fish at Huites, but we were proven wrong
when he caught as many fish as all the plug casters combined," says Hollan.
"Rene Salazar, one of the best guides in Mexico and an expert with a plastic worm and
crankbait, states that the next time we see him on the lake he just might be using a fly
rod himself!" Fishing
trips to Huites are $1195, plus airfare to Los Mochis, and are all inclusive. The packages
include: 4 nights of lodging, three days of guided fishing, all meals, drinks and
housekeeping services. The boats are 18 feet and have 65 HP motors and trolling motors. To return to home page click here. ----- Original Message ----- |
