I am located in Tulum Mexico on the Caribbean Sea and do independent flyfishing tours of the surrounding area. There are several flats nearby to bonefish, from white sand flats to turtle and eel grass flats. My rates are much more afforadable than the Punta Allen rates, and more personalized. Although I do not have a boat or offer the fine accomodations which these specialized fishing lodges do, I can get you into the same waters and instruct you how to bonefish. Wading for bonefish is more direct and intimate than casting from a boat, and seems to spook them less. I supply equipment for up to 2 persons, with 9ft 8/9wt rods and reels with plenty of backing and line. I also have my tying gear here in Tulum, so I pump out Crazy Charlies whenever we get low. I can also assist you in what airlines to fly (cheapest)if you are flying into Cancun. I can also recommend several hotels and B&Bs that may suit your vacation. Call my Tulum cell phone for any information! (0052)984-132-5488

Hello,
I am coming to Tulum from Sweden and am interested in bonefishing in the area. Is now a good time to bonefish?
I don´t have any gear since I have never flyfished before but my friends recommend that I do it there. Have you heard of Boca Paila, what is that? My friend says to go there.
Thanks
A Borgas

A Borgas,

Yes, now is a good time to bonefish the Tulum area as the migratory bones are rolling in and will be here feeding the next few months. Yes, Boca Paila is in the Sian Kaan Reserve on the way to Punta Allen. It is a channel connecting the Caribbean Sea to the mangrove system. The fishing here is good, although the bones here can be very easily spooked.
The flats are a good place to learn to cast because there is relatively few objects on which to catch your fly on, compared to shore casting with shrubs around you.
I supply equipment for up to two fishermen with rods, reels, leader and flies. I can teach you to cast when you get here, it´s just a matter of practice and pacience.
Let me know if you have any more questions and I think you´ll be happy to learn to flyfish here.

My wife and I will be in Tulum from June 7th-12th.
I would be very interested in fishing for bones, wading instead of from a boat. Would you be open during these times and how good are your rates?!? I am not interested in paying the 200 dollars for a half-day trip. Are your prices negotiable - it sounds as if they are.

Both my wife and I have fly-fished and I am an avid trout fisherman. The only bone-flyfishing I have done was from a boat in belize (twice). We wasted half of each day locating Permit and never saw one! Absolute rip-off. The Bones were in 15 foot water and it was not intimate whatsoever.

I would be very interested in perhaps setting up a half day with you!
