Thanks for the advice and helping me pick out some flies for the trip. Only got to go fishing one day but we did well, caught eight bones with three of those over five pounds and the largest around seven.

Very challenging fishing having to make a good cast into the wind while the boat is moving and the hardest part not stepping on your line on the boat deck. Thanks again man! Scott F.

I'm sorry I didn't get the daily reports up on our website like I'd planned, but for some reason, I couldn't get the pictures to load correctly to our site while I was down there.

Nestor, Miguel and I with an Ascension Bay permit!  William with a nice Ascension Bay bonefish! Chris with one of many tarpon he has caught on our Pesca Maya trips! For the last several years, McLellan's Fly Shop has hosted a saltwater flats trip to Pesca Maya—one of our favorite saltwater destinations. Located on the Yucatan Peninsula along the northern edge of Ascension Bay, Pesca Maya is roughly two-and-a-half hours south of Cancun, at the end of a dirt road through the dense jungle of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. 2009 was a good snook year. Ben and Chris hooked...
