Punta Allen, Mexico
On-site managing partners Jose Ucan and Lily Bertram have been involved in the fishing business of Punta Allen for over a decade combined, helping them create a wonderful fishing oriented experience at La Pescadora. Opened in December, 2021 the newly renovated Kay Fly Fishing Lodge overlooks a “home” turtle grass covered bonefish flat with terrific views of the nightly, sunset burnt sky above the Caribbean Ocean. Kay Fly Fishing Lodge features a main lodge with five double occupancy rooms. Each room has a private bathroom, two full sized beds, screened windows, shelving and storage area for gear, a ceiling fan, air conditioning units and small patio area.

Authentic Mayan Cuisine and Fly Fishing Experiences
All meals are prepared on site by local chefs using many ingredients sourced from the region, combining traditional Mayan cuisine with Caribbean and American influences. The bar is fully stocked with an ice machine and a variety of liquors, wines, sodas, mixers and ice cold local beers. Between these spaces and the lodge’s sitting areas, Kay Fly Fishing Lodge offers some great settings for post-fishing beverages and appetizers.
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.
