Ascension Bay Fly Fishing Vacation or Day Trips From the Riviera Maya!

Ascension Bay is located at the southern end of the Yucatan about 90 miles south of Cancun in the Sian Kaan Biosphere. Translated from Mayan, this means "where the sky is born". Truly a saltwater fly fisherman's paradise and rated as one of the top10 saltwater flats & fly fishing locations in the world  offering anglers Grand Slam opportunities with Permit, Bonefish, and Tarpon in the same day, as well as a variety of other saltwater species. 

Because of it's location in the Sian Kaan Biosphere the area receives unique protection and conservation efforts which should keep the area very productive for years to come. The area consists of miles of unspoiled wide open pristine flats, smaller lagoons, mangrove shorelines, and out on the reefs.

With Permit, Bonefish, and Barracuda on the flats all year long, along with the  migrating Tarpon and Snook, Pesca Maya Lodge in Ascension Bay is just an amazing location and the  perfect choice for your next fly fishing vacation.

The Fishing - Fly fishing or light tackle, a short trip, or for a full week of fly fishing, at Ascension Bay you'll have plenty of  opportunities to fish the most sought after saltwater species on the flats, and likely have the possibility of a Grand Slam with Permit, Bonefish, and Tarpon caught on the same day! The Yucatan is well known as one of the most popular destinations to land your slam or super slam. 

You will be guided on a custom flats skiff with your personal, experienced guide who is there to help you bring maximum results to your day of fishing. Your day will be spent exploring huge flats and mangrove shorelines. If you are looking for your first Bonefish, this is your place. Fishing trips include two rods per boat, fly or spinning tackle.

                          

The Lodge - Pesca Maya lodge is located between Tulum and Punta Allen on a beautiful and secluded white sand beach with incredible turquoise Caribbean waters just in front of the lodge, as well as part of the second largest coral reef system in the world just offshore. Able to take up to 20 anglers at a time, (2 per room), the lodge offers 10 air-conditioned rooms with seven having an ocean view. 

The facilities also feature a restaurant, a bar, a small fly shop, and Main Palapa where you and the rest of the anglers can meet up at the end of a good day of fishing and share stories, tie some flies, and enjoy some good company. You will also have the beach in front of the lodge to relax on while not fishing.
