A trip to Cuba for bones, permit, whatever.

I've spoken (e-mail) to an outfitter and it *is* possible. *I would
have to fly to, say, Mexico (Cancun) first, and then to Cuba. *No visa
is necessary to visit either Mexico nor Cuba. *The trick would be to
avoid having Cuban authorities stamp my passport. *You can go in and
out of Cancun without a passport - proof of citizenship would be at
least two identification cards (military retire and driver's license).

My question to you and others is: *Do you know of any U.S. citizen
going to Cuba to fly fish?

Although I am fishing a couple of days a week, I am beginning to get
cabin fever and it isn't even November. *Golf doesn't help in the very
least. * I'm having hip replacement surgery on December 8, so I should
be roaring to go by February.

Any thoughts, RW, roff?

I suppose Cuba might have great flats fishing, but so do the
Seychelles, Andros, los Roques, etc., so I don't feel the need to do
something illegal. I also don't like the idea of fishing off a boat
for a week, which is the way I understand it works at Jardine de la
Reina, the premier Cuban destination.

That said, the US Cuba policy is stupid and counterproductive, held
hostage to a Cuban American swing vote in a swing state (Florida).

When it's legal I'll probably go.
