A Perfect Day Fly Fishing in Baja
A perfect day of fly fishing at Palapas Ventana in La Ventana during September starts as the sun rises over the tranquil Sea of Cortez. After a light breakfast at the on-site El Anzuelo Restaurant, where fresh fruit, eggs, and coffee fuel the morning, you head to the boat launch, where Captain Chuy is waiting, ready to guide you to the best fishing spots.
September in La Ventana, a peaceful town with a small population of under 2000, offers prime conditions for fly fishing, as the water begins to warm and the fish are active. The day’s target could be roosterfish, known for their powerful runs, or jack crevalle, a strong fighter on the fly rod. Depending on the location, you might also find dorado (mahi-mahi), which add vibrant colors to your day. Chuy, a local expert, navigates to the best spots around Isla Cerralvo, where you’ll cast your line in hopes of landing that perfect catch.
After a thrilling day on the water, you return to the shaded comfort of your traditional palapa-style casita, complete with air conditioning to escape the September heat. The room, simple yet charming, invites you to relax before dinner.
As the evening approaches, you head back to El Anzuelo, where the chef prepares a delicious spread. The day’s catch, if you’re lucky, might even make its way to your plate, perfectly grilled and paired with local vegetables. If not, there’s always fresh seafood on the menu, alongside Baja specialties like fish tacos and ceviche.
The day winds down with the “locally world famous” hot dog train. You hop aboard and make your way around La Ventana, stopping at local beer spots and food vendors. It’s a fun, casual way to explore town, grabbing a bite at each stop—tacos, tamales, and of course, a hot dog with all the fixings. Cold beers from local cervecerías are the perfect complement as you chat with locals and fellow travelers, soaking in the relaxed atmosphere of this Baja fishing town.
It’s a day that blends adventure, relaxation, and local flavor—truly an ideal fly fishing experience in La Ventana.
