Casa Carolina Beach Resort, Xcalak, Mexico

 

Fly Fishing in Xcalak

Once they have discovered Xcalak, fly fishers return again and again. They come to catch  their first bonefish...or the most bonefish...or their biggest bonefish...and they do.  They come to realize their dream of catching a permit. They come back to catch  bigger permit. They come seeking a “grand slam”: permit, tarpon, and bonefish. They return to see the beauty of Chetumal Bay again, to fish in relative isolation. The fish are here.


Take a look at Gordon's beautiful permit!

When is the best time to fish? If you look at the dates under the pictures of our guests’ grand slams in our Fly Fishing photo gallery, you’ll see that it’s all year!

We’ll reserve a guide for you who has probably been fishing these waters his whole life. We are glad to make those arrangements for our guests. Your guide will know where the fish are. It is a good idea to reserve a guide before you get here.

But you can also walk the flats and catch bonefish in front of Casa Carolina. Our guests have even caught permit right here!
