fly fishing for tarpon Rio lagartos


Welcome to Isla del Sabalo! This amazing destination is located in a very remote region of the Yucatan. The fishery in this region offers incredible opportunities for baby Tarpon and Snook. There is immense diversity in this environment - from vast gin-clear turtlegrass flats to mangrove lined channels and lagoons. Baby Tarpon range in size from 5 to 30+ pounds... an incredible sportfish on an 8/9 weight rod. The full service lodge provides comfortable accommodations, a friendly staff, and bountiful meals, all in a wonderful beach front atmosphere. Isla del Sabalo is a must-fish for anglers looking for a remote, unspoiled fishing experience.

The trip starts with your arrival in Merida a nice colonial city in this area of the Yucatan.  You will make your way through the airport and find our driver holding a sign with your name.  From there it is about a 1-1/2 hour drive on smooth roads through flat terrain.  Every so often you will slow down for a small village . 

After reading this page you may want some more details by using the links found up and to the right of this text, they will overlay a specific detail page. For more pictures try out our new photo gallery topics also on the right, a little further down the page.

You will be driving to the little remote site on the western edge of the Yucatan Peninsula North of Campeche. Our small modern lodeg will be your home for the best aby tarpon fishing available.  You will get meals there daily and depart for the days fishing directly from the lodge.  The lodge is not fancy,  just clean comfortable rooms. 

Breakfast is usually very early to make sure we get some good time in just as the light is coming up.  Tarpon are more active at night and in low light than during the heat of the day.  We still find fish all day long it is just prime time very early.  There is plenty of water and cervesa  supplied with lunch out on the boat or if you are lucky enough back at the lodge.

It takes 5-30 minutes to reach the prime water.  The guides know the tides and winds very well so they will direct the days fishing taking you to where the tides and wind conditions are most favorable.  If it is nice and calm you might look for some of the bigger fish out in the open flats.  If it is a bit windy you will head directly into the sheltered areas in the mangrove creeks and lagoons.
