I need a weblink, name, phone number, contact....something. I am specificaly interested in finding a guide for flyfishing in Mazatlan, Mex. for Mahi, Bill-fish. Don't hesitate to send me or list gear-fishing information, as they may do both.
We caught a monster sailfish on gear last year and want to get one on the fly this time!
Thanks in advance!

Hey Steelie,
See today's Tacoma News Tribune. Mottrom just got back from Cabo, and sounds like he did OK on flies. I think he even gives some contacts. E-mail me if you want, I will be up in Sequim in two weeks and will bring that article if that is in time, and you want it.

If you don't have it yet, "The Orvis Guide To Saltwater Fly Fishing(nick curcione) is an excellent book. Bring the beefiest rod you can buy/borrow. Broke my sage 8# at the cork on a "small" tuna. Will replace it with a 10-12# before I go back this winter. If you don't tie flies,start now. Assume you can't buy anything there. Kaufman-streamborn in seattle(web) has best saltwater selection around. Most flies are mostly white maribou/feather with big eyes. 4-6" lefty deceiver good for most fish, large poppers for dorado if they are on top. Anything that looks like a baitfish and is in front of them, they'll chomp. Reel MUST have quality disk drag. Sailfish etc. require,for the most part, an entire hackle neck tied to a hook. If you plan to book a trip to flyfish sailfish/marlin, tie a feather duster to the rod you plan to bring, go out on the windiest day in your yard, and try and throw it at your neighbors car across the street...I'm jealous...hope this helps....
