There is excellent largemouth bass fishing in some of the rivers and reserviors in the mountains around Puerto Vallarta. If you want to go you'll have no problems finding a guide with the assistance of your hotels concierge. There is excellent snook fishing at daylight all along the beaches. Nuevo Vallarta especially. Short cab ride, near where the cruise ships come in. Los Arcos national marine park is within sight of the Red Onion (eat there - spectacular little dive) right off the downtown walkway. There are striped marlin, sailfish, etc... all within 1/4 mile of town. Also there are lots of snapper, grouper, snook, etc... all around. There are docks downtown with dozens of fishing boats to take you for whatever you want. If you want a fly rod adventure ask one to take you to the reef at Los Arcos and chum up some fish - cast a fly to them and you'll catch all kinds of crazy stuff. You may have a problem finding a guide who knows anything at all about fly fishing. It's not a big money maker there. Bring an 8wt and maybe a 10wt. 6wt if your adventurous but remember the wind. Lots of Clousers, shrimp patterns, crab patterns - for bass the clousers will work. Also some big poppers or hair bugs. Good luck and let us know how you do! Joe C.
