Super Grand Slam

Kay Fly Fishing Lodge offers some of the best shallow saltwater fly fishing in the world with the opportunity to catch a super grand slam (permit, tarpon, bonefish and snook) every day of the year. This is not to say that fishermen do accomplish a super grand slam everyday but these species are present in healthy numbers throughout the year around Ascension Bay. Kay Fly’s specialty is permit fishing as the lodge hires some of the best guides in Mexico who have a deep passion for guiding their clients onto these demanding fish. The lagoons and river system located inland from Ascension Bay provide blue ribbon snook and baby tarpon fishing while casting to bonefish is always possible in the skinny flats. Kay Fly Fishing Lodge utilizes 23 foot super pangas with two guides for every boat. Having a primary guide and an assistant guide allows fishermen to sight fish from a distance, jump out of the boat and stalk fish on foot which helps minimize the casting distance and can often lead to numerous opportunities at the same fish.

Must Visit Destination in the Yucatan

Kay Fly Fishing Lodge is a must visit destination for saltwater flats enthusiasts and beginners alike as it not only offers a variety of the best fly fishing in the Caribbean but it also emphasizes fishing above all other activities at an amazing price.
