On the western side of the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula at about 19 degrees north latitude, approximately 300 miles South and East of Cancun, you’ll find the old Spanish colonial city of Campeche.
For a very old city, it took fly fishers a long time to discover it. Until very recently, it wasn’t on the map of very many fly fishers. Now, it is one of those destinations on the lips of most anglers looking for baby tarpon and a fun place to hang out after fishing. The fishing is very close to the marina and you can be casting to sighted tarpon cruising the mangrove shorelines within 15 minutes of the dock or you might be cruising further up the coast looking for tarpon tucked back in the shaded mangrove “caves” where casting becomes a little more critical.
Just about any custom trip can be planned combining nights in the hotel of your choice, with as many days you want to fish and as many days you may want to visit Mayan ruins and discover Campeche’s charm.
