Located in the small fishing village of Punta Allen, Kay Fly allows for easy access to the famed flats of Ascension Bay and the Boca Paila lagoon system. This 1.3 million-acre fishery is located within the Sian Ka'an Biosphere, a UNESCO World Heritage site protected from commercial fishing. Here, seasoned guides specialize in targeting Permit, Bonefish, Tarpon, and Snook. Devoted anglers and novices will enjoy the intimate lodge's relaxed atmosphere and remarkable service. Who It's For Permit junkies Novice to advanced anglers Fishing oriented couples When To Go Ascension Bay can provide phenomenal flats fishing year-round. Typically the most consistent Permit fishing falls in the spring and summer months, from March through September. Bonefish and resident Tarpon are present around Punta Allen year-round. Weather in this subtropical climate is relatively stable throughout the year, with average highs in the 80s. The warmer months, June through August, often bring more frequent rains as well as the occasional hurricane. The cooler season falls from December through February and tends to have less rain, but cold fronts become a risk. Permit The Ascension Bay region is well-known for being a world-class Permit destination. Anglers here will generally have opportunities to cast at feeding Permit averaging 10-15 pounds. Larger fish up to 30 pounds can be found any time of year. Similar to other fisheries, Permit here can be frustrating due to their discerning nature. Do yourself a favor and practice casting heavy crab patterns in the wind before targeting Permit in Ascension Bay. Bonefish Bonefish are found abundantly in the numerous flats near Punta Allen. Many flats feature a hard sand bottom that makes for excellent footing. There are also many flats ideally suited for fishing from the boat, for anglers who prefer not to wade fish. Due to their prolific numbers and obliging feeding habits, the Bonefish of Ascension Bay make an excellent fly rod target for beginners and experts alike. Tarpon In the Boca Paila lagoon system north of Ascension Bay, Juvenile Tarpon averaging 10-30 pounds can be found year-round. Larger Tarpon can also be found with some regularity in the spring and summer seasons. Other Species In addition to the big three flats species, the Ascension Bay area offers an exceptional Snook fishery. These strong ambush predators love to crush baitfish patterns in the mangroves, and they round out the 'super slam' potential of the region. Anglers exploring the expansive flats commonly encounter a variety of species, including Barracuda, Jacks, and Sharks. Boats At Kay Fly, you'll fish from the standard Mexican Panga. These very seaworthy vessels are the customary boats found throughout the Caribbean. Each boat features rod storage and spacious casting decks. Equipment A range of rod sizes with matching reels will be necessary for a week at Kay Fly Lodge. We recommend bringing 4 rods: a 6/7wt for Bonefish, an 8wt all-purpose, a 9wt for Permit, and a 10-12wt for Tarpon. Your guides will help you rig appropriately for the day's fishing. We recommend adhering to the packing and equipment lists provided by Trident. Itinerary Day 1: From Home to Kay Fly Lodge A week-long trip at Kay Fly Lodge typically runs from Saturday to Saturday.

Following an afternoon fishing session, you'll return to the lodge to unwind and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal. After dinner, enjoy cocktails and stories at the bar, relax on the beach, or retire early.

Kay Fly Lodge offers something for everyone, from Bonefish for beginners to Permit for advanced anglers. To target Permit specifically, anglers should be comfortable casting heavy crab patterns accurately at 60 feet in the wind. What should I do to prepare for a week of fly fishing in Mexico? Most importantly, you should practice casting in windy conditions. As with any saltwater trip, wind can be a major factor in Mexico. Also, purchasing the right gear, tackle, and clothing is important - use our recommended packing lists. You should think about your goals for the trip so that you can relay them to your guides. And lastly, figure out your travel logistics well in advance. Is Kay Fly Lodge Suitable for Families? Kay Fly Lodge is best suited for dedicated anglers or fishing-focused groups. If you're looking for a lodge with non-angling activities for families, there are other options we'd recommend. How many other anglers will be there? Kay Fly Lodge has a capacity of 10 anglers. Is the water safe to drink? Yes, purified drinking water is always available at the lodge. How does money work in Mexico? Mexico's currency is the Mexican peso (MXN). U.S. dollars are readily accepted in Mexico, but change will be given in pesos. Please bring enough cash to cover gratuities and incidentals. Do the guides speak English? Yes, all the guides at Kay Fly Lodge are fluent in English and Spanish. Is traveling to Mexico safe? Mexico is generally considered a safe destination for international tourists. As with any international travel, use common sense and keep your wits about you. Once at the lodge, crime is of little concern. What kind of electrical outlets are there? Electrical outlets are the same as in the U.S. - 110 Volt AC power. Are alcoholic beverages included? While alcohol is not included in the package, Kay Fly Lodge offers a very well-stocked cash bar with a great bartender. You may also stop along the way (Playa del Carmen or Tulum) and pick up any beverages you'd like for the week. What is the weather like? The climate of Ascension Bay is subtropical with temperatures averaging around 80 degrees F throughout the year. Lows during winter months rarely drop below 70 and highs during the warmest months are only occasionally above 100. April and May tend to be the warmest months and cold fronts in the late fall or early winter generally bring the coolest temperatures. Is tipping customary in Mexico? Yes, tipping is customary although it is at your discretion. Tipping 15-20 % of your trip total per person is recommended. Please plan on tipping in cash. What happens if I’m injured during the trip, and should I purchase travel insurance? Medical emergencies and evacuations can happen in remote destinations, which is why we strongly recommend enrolling with Global Rescue before your trip. Global Rescue provides industry-leading medical and security evacuation services, and they also offer comprehensive travel insurance plans serviced through IMG. This all-in-one solution allows anglers to secure both emergency evacuation coverage and travel insurance through a single provider, helping ensure you’re protected if something unexpected occurs before or during your trip.
