An absolute must for anyone who enjoys the idea of paddling in the clear blue seas of Baja, casting a line, catching a great variety of fish, and camping on an isolated island in the Sea of Cortez! This is a fly-fishing/kayaking/camping expedition for folks that are looking for an out of the ordinary adventure. State of the art Sit on top kayaks provide an eco-friendly and pleasurable means to indulge in one of Baja's best fly fishing areas.

We will base camp for five nights with a night before and after in La Paz. If you are bringing a partner who doesn't want to fish everyday, they will have a very enjoyable time relaxing in the comfort and scenic beauty at our camp. There will be plenty of opportunity to snorkel.

What we can expect to catch: Green Jacks, Pargo, Jack Crevalle, Topsail Pompano, Black Skipjack, Pacific Bonita, Ladyfish, are to mention just a few of the fish that one can land by kayak! At different times of the year there is a good chance of being towed around by a ten pound black skipjack tuna and you never know what else - the Gulf of California is one of the most diverse fishing grounds in the world. You don't have to be a kayak expert or fly-fishing pro to catch lots of fish and have a great time.

Your flyfishing equipment should include an 8,9, or ten weight rod. Sinking lines are a must,but there will be surface action also, so intermediate lines will be useful too.
