Kayak Flyfishing Expeditions

Looking for a fly fishing adventure that is a little closer to nature? Would you like to meet some interesting fish, explore a beautiful unspoiled habitat, and have all the free time you need to follow your whims? Since 2008, we have ben camping on Isla Magdalena on the Pacific side of Baja. We are paddling into tidal mangrove esteros and fishing for spotted bay bass, broomtail grouper and orange mouth corvina. This has proven to be a very fishy locale! I also lead trips to remote Islas San Jose, Espiritu Santo and Cerralvo on the Sea of Cortez. How about warm, clear water holding beautiful tropical fish and coral reefs? We paddle into mangrove lined lagoons to fish and visit with many varieties of birds. All of this is bordered by white sandy beaches and incredible rock formations on three uninhabited islands. And it is in the middle of the most diverse fishing grounds in the Eastern Pacific. It is all about having fun!


Isla Espiritu Santo

 With Ocean Kayak Prowler 13's sit-on-top fishing kayaks to propel yourself silently through the lagoons and seas, a cook to serve up delicious meals three times a day, and iced drinks to slake your thirst your island adventure is complete. Learn to fly fish in the salt in a non-intimidating program  and improve your skills on a huge variety of species.   Sea kayaks provide an unobtrusive and pleasurable means to discover Gary's favorite fishing spots.  Magdalena Bay, larger than san francisco bay is where we have been exploring the past few years. We also have been on many expeditions to on beautiful Isla Espiritu Santo and Isla San Jose off La Paz, in Baja, Mexico. During the week we paddle to a variety spectacular points, islets, and bays enabling us to explore many of our secret hotspots. A boat and captain accompany us on our daily outings, and most often even transport  us to a favorite fishing spot.This trip is not about long distance paddling -it is about fishing! Or you can just lounge on the beach, beach comb, hike the canyons, or snorkel. During breaks between water activities you can learn to tie saltwater flies and practice leader building and casting technique with Gary at your side. 

Dorado, Pargo, Yellow Tail, Cabrilla, Black Skipjack, Pacific Bonita, Ladyfish, Roosters, Golden Trevally and Sierra are to mention just a few of the fish that can be landed by kayak! At Bahia Magdalena we catch broomtail grouper, spotted bay bass and Orange mouth corvina, halibut and jacks. With the latest sit-on-top kayaks and a panga for gear and food transport all you have to provide is your rod and a sleeping bag.  Fishing equipment can be rented also. Week long trips are scheduled Saturday to Saturday, with first and last nights in La Paz in a first rate beachfront hotel.  We also have shorter "Quick Escapes".  See Trip Schedule for details.
