Cuba Buget Fishing
Hi,
I might be heading to Cuba for 2 weeks in September and want to know about possible fly fishing opportunities in Cuba. I've fishign Los Roques, Venezuela 3 times as well as the Yucatan in Mexico so I know how to go after Bonefish etc. What I'd like to know is if there is much opportunity to target these speices without a guide. Or if I did have to take a guide where would be the best place to go to get value for money? Basically I like roughing it and doing things on the cheap so am hoping to continue this in Cuba. Any tips, pointers, advice would be most appreciated. Regards, Mudders |

Willi and I met a pair of English twin brothers (Yorkshiremen) in Belize who'd just come from Cayo Largo. They were identically rotund, and one was volulable and the other taciturn, so I (privately) named them Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Over a dinner of mutton snapper, caught by Willi that day, Tweedle Dee said the bonefishing was outstanding but the food sucked. One thing they liked about Cayo Largo was that it wasn't overrun by Americans. :-) "volulable"?? my dictionary is too heavy to trouble with in my current state. is that a typo or did you have a petit mal while typing "voluble"? being taciturn my own self, i know that one. greg, the owner and operator of the best campground near morganton, nc, tells of his many years fishing around cuba and of time he spent there. he has a picture of himself with fidel. he's single. he describes the fishin as excellent...on land and sea. jeff |

I'm a poor speller. Always have been. I think it sucks that our US government won't let us travel to Cuba. Where the hell do they get off telling me where I can and can't go? -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

There was a pretty good discussion about this on www.danblanton.com a few
months ago. According to this discussion, there are few flats that you can get to on your own, and if you charter someone with a boat along the beach, you have little chance of being taken to good fishing places. According to thee people there is little knowledge of bone fishing except on the two live-aboard boats that make a business at it. wrote in message oups.com...

The season pretty much begins this fall. there are various sites our of Texas that will take you to Cuba. Pro guides. But if you wanna go, I'm game. I'll meet you in Mexico City we'll hop a plan and see what the dogs drag home. john |

Where the hell do they get off telling me where I can and can't go? your government cares for you deeply, and doesn't want to see you spend the rest of your life slaving away in a sugar cane field near gitmo. right. yfitons wayno |
