Fly Rods - Reels - Flies - Line & General Information

The fly fishing in our lagoons and flats on Cozumel is done mostly wadding while the fly fishing in our lagoons and flats at Isla Blanca in Cancun is done from the boat. Therefore, I would recommend all Cozumel fly fishing anglers to bring the appropriate flats wadding boots or diving boots.

We recommend our anglers to bring at least two fly rods (a 9wt. and an 8wt. or 7wt.) for both Cozumel and Cancun with their matching fly reels for saltwater fishing loaded with at least 120 + yards of #20 or #30 line for backing and a floating fly line preferably bonefish taper WF 7-9 F for Cozumel and bonefish taper WF 7-9 F and  tarpon taper WF- 8/9 F for Cancun.

Note: the use of sinking or semi sinking lines it’s not recommended as the water in the lagoons and flats where you will be fishing in Cozumel and Cancun are shallow (1.5 to 3 feet). 

For Cozumel make sure to bring several one piece 9’ or 10’ feet Orvis, RIQ, Cabela's or Maxima leaders #8, #10 and #12 with some coils of fluorocarbon line #12, #15 and #20 for shock tippets. Bring a good assortment of flies for bonefish and permit and a few for tarpon and snook.

For Cancun make sure to bring several one piece 9' or 10' feet Orvis, RIQ, Cabela's or Maxima leaders #8, #10, #12 and #15 with some coils of fluorocarbon line #12, #15, #20, #30 and #40 for for shock tippets. Bring a good assortment of flies for tarpon, permit and snook and a few for bonefish.

Very important: Every ones needs excellent polarized sunglasses for seeing fish (without excellent eyewear you are totally wasting your time), a convenient hat, plenty of sun block screen (#50 +), bug spray, light clothing and don’t forget your camera.  

       Keep lines tight & hooks sharp! Good fishing!!!
