Best place on the planet to catch a permit on a fly! Located in lobster fishing village of Punta Allen. Fairly remote, 3½-hour drive from Cancun, final 20 miles on sand road often rough after a storm. Lodge basic but modern, service exceptional, food fantastic. Guides simply the best. Within Sian Ka’an BioPreserve, lots of exotic birds, marine wildlife, Mayan ruins. Fish Ascension Bay from boat and by easy wading, 8- to 10-weight rods, one-to-one angler-to-guide ratio.
