CHOSEN WITH INTENTION
EVERY LODGE ON THIS LIST HAS EARNED ITS PLACE NOT BY MISTAKE BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE THINGS THE RIGHT WAY FROM THE START.
Sportfishing Mag Bay
Magdalena Bay is one of the Pacific’s most productive and diverse sportfishing destinations, offering anglers both offshore and inshore opportunities across a huge fishery that stretches more than 130 miles along the Baja California Sur coast. It’s a place where rich bait populations attract pelagic species like wahoo, tuna, dorado, and striped marlin often creating days of non-stop action for those on the water.

NO NAME FLY LODGE
Puerto Rico’s only dedicated fly-fishing lodge offers access to an exciting and largely un-pressured fishery along the island’s stunning west coast. Anglers target permit on coastal flats and sight-fish resident tarpon from poling skiffs along mangroves, sand flats, and beaches, with fish commonly ranging from 10–50 pounds. With easy travel from the U.S., incredible scenery, and consistent shots at trophy fish, this destination delivers a truly unique Caribbean fly-fishing experience.
