Baja California, Mexico: Fly Fishing The Sea of Cortez
The big league of saltwater fly fishing. No angler’s life is complete without having a go at pez gallo.
One of the best places in the world to tangle with large saltwater fish on a fly rod–marlin, tuna, dorado, jacks and the fabled “pez gallo” (roosterfish). The beautiful thing about fishing this region is that the seafloor drops dramatically within a short distance from the beach, so you can find yourself in pretty blue water within paddling distance of the shoreline.
