FISH & WEATHER REPORTS SUMMARY
Sunday; 24 August, 2008 In a nutshell- The Dorado fishing has picked up this week with fish in the high 40 pound size range being caught pretty frequently. Limits are of course a sure thing and catch and release is encouraged. Sailfish and Striped Marlin have also been a common catch with Sails in the 130 pound size range as we usually expect them and the Stripers from 120-175 pounds. Mackerel has been a good bait for all of the above but the largest Dorado came on a sardina this week. The sardinas have also made excellent bait. Giant squid are also a sure thing and they're being caught only about a mile off the marina. We recommend a 24" squid jig as these are consistently 50 pound animals coming up. Tropical Storm Julio is on its way North and we expect our sea surface conditions to start to deteoriate this afternoon as a result. We expect the seas to return to normal by Wednesday afternoon and will report again next week as the fishing conditions will change after the storm.

LIST OF THE CURRENT HOT FLIES
(as of July 9, 2008)

This is a brief list of the flies that are working RIGHT now. Larger images can be viewed here and we make and sell them in our fly shop in downtown Loreto.


The Bull Candy is in the number one position right now. This fly is designed by Southern California surf and inland water guide Lee Baermann who brought it to us four years ago. This is DEFINATELY THE HOT FLY RIGHT NOW. This fly is all the larger Dorado wanted on Saturday and those who have been using it since are reporting similar results. Although the popper got their attention it is this bullcandy that lived up to its name as the larger fish wanted this fly exclusively! We have these in stock and sell them for 70 pesos ($7 USD)



The mylar popper was originally designed by by Lani Waller and has been fished successfully for many years off Loreto and throughout the world. Dorado and other species readily take this fly. We make it with several layers of epoxy for durability against the teeth of the Dorado and several of our flies have taken over 30 dorado before being retired. This is the other fly you need if fishing for Dorado. For targeting Dorado on the fly right now off Loreto you only need a couple of these and three bullcandies, that's it! We have this fly for sale in the shop for 60 pesos ($6 USD)

Please excuse me while I increase our chances of getting to the top of the engines. I will repeat myself. Loreto fishing is greatly affected by the fishing weather in Loreto. Loreto Bay also known for fly fishing has seen fly fishing travlers from throughout the fishing world. Fishing in Loreto Bay is fishing. Sport fishing Loreto Bay style is laid back and fairly primitive fishing. That's the beauty in Lorety Bay fishing as fishing is fishing in Loreto Bay. We're at mercy of Loreto Bay's weather of which the fishing weather in Loreto Bay can be unpredictable for fishing. Loreto Bay has similar fishing weather to Loreto and fishing is fishing, ha! Well aparf from this list, we have Loreto 11 times here and Loreto Bay 8 times and fishing 15 times and weather 3 times, so lets add one more of each; again, that's Loreto, Loreto Bay, fishing, fly, fly fishing, weather, did I say Loreto fishing? Adios, from a fly fisher lady in Loreto looking at the fishing weather and the sun rising up at Loreto Bay!
