Permit. The Holy Grail? Well, before travelling to catch
these tremendous fish, I had my doubts, but by the end of
the first day, that had all changed, and respect was gained
by these merely sensational saltwater fish.
Ascension Bay is one of the best locations for Permit fishing
in Mexico. The flats are in addition perfect for bonefishing
and there are countless lagoons and channels for Tarpon and
Snook. Great fun can also be had targeting everything from
Barracuda to Shark with your fly rod, and the entire experience
this part of Mexico offers, is simply the best value for money
saltwater flyfishing available.
Expansive sandy flats, rising temperatures, good fishing
and cold beer. The bay provides superb sport for fly anglers
through most of the year, however various factors dictate
that May, although getting warmer is a prime month for Permit,
and can ensure quiter weather on the ocean side, making the
larger Tarpon more accessible.
Mavungana have secured prime weeks again in 2014 to this
Grand Slam destination. 8 rods enjoy superb accommodations
right down on the tip of Punta Allen, with direct access onto
Ascension bay with Casa Viejo Chac’s specialised skiffs. Their
guide team is extremely experienced, and as far as shots at
Permit go, you will have plenty. What happens from there,
is up to the lord of anglers, your skills and the mood of
this mind blowingly fickle fish!

Mavungana Tip!
Prepare yourself, make sure you can cast your fly with your
ten weight onto a tea saucer before you travel. Its really
going to make the difference
