I have been tying flies to prepare for my May 19th Mexico Roosterfishing trip with my Oluvia. Rods will be a 7wt switch rod loaded with an Intermediate sinking line and a floating Short Skagit line; and a 10 wt single hander loaded with 450 grain shooting head line and a floating weight forward line. The fishing reports have been good for this secret locale, including Roosters up to 40 lbs and Dorado up to 35 lbs off the beach. I plan on hiring a Panga (small boat) for a few hours one day, though probably won't need to go far from our destination beach. Snorkeling will also be on the agenda as there is a protected coral reef within walking distance of our hotel. We should also be able to take a paddle up into the mangroves where Snook, small bonefish, and Jacks reside. If we find time a soak in the Aguascalientes (hot springs) located in one of the crystal blue rivers flowing into the Pacific. I am very excited for this trip as I have never been somewhere truly tropical. This may be the new locale for Gila's winter/vacation home so we will be looking into real estate options and prices. More to come...
