Fly fishing in the Yucatan

JR
Not that I've seen. Im a spectator not a fisher in Quintana Roo, and mostly
paint/draw, eat, gawk, cook, moon over ruins etc.. There are fishing guides
everywhere, forget Cancun, but from Puerto Morales on down route 307 to
Chetumal and Belize. It all seems to be about Bonefish so far, but even the
beaches look fishy to me. Im headed to Cancun this January. I plan to take a
rod and check out beach fishing on Isla Mujeres. I much prefer funky Playa
but free Cancun digs and a reunion of sorts trumps this time.

With Playa you get access to Cancun's bigish airport, a minority of
Americans, lots of Indians, Tulum etc to the south, Cozumel (island) by
ferry, and to the West, Valladolid (a very traditional small colonial era
city), and the Coba ruins (and Chichen-Itza). Playa is a bit shabby for US
suburbanites, a favorite of young Eurobikers and SouthAmericans on new
year's holiday, has plenty of neat little hotels, good restaurants, a bit
o'ganja rep etc. I like its energy and its wonderful beaches.

Christian's post per Punta Allen might be more the ticket for frontier
fishing. Punta Allen is on the end of a peninsula on the huge Sian Ka'an
Biosphere Reserve. As the kids say, "its all good "G"."

Gonna go looking for Chum tomorrow if the wind stops blowing. Is Rome cold
this time of year?

Any good do-it-yourownself wade-fishing spots around there?
