The fly, spin or bait-angler, will find Boca Paila to be one of the best saltwater flats fisheries in the Atlantic or Caribbean. A combination of brackish and freshwater estuaries intermingle with complex shallow-water reef system creating Boca Paila’s quintessential food-rich flats resource. The area is best known for superb bonefishing and a spectacular permit population, but there are bonus fish to add to the fun and challenge: tarpon, snook, barracuda, jack crevalle and cubera snapper are constant in these waters. Boca Paila bonefish average just under 3 pounds, although fish in the 4- to 6-pound class are also taken. (10 -15 bonefish in a day are not unusual.) Often, two or even three permit (8-20 pounds) are landed in a week in the lagoons. This is unprecedented considering most flats anglers have never brought in a single permit. Boca Paila continues to be one of the best fisheries in the Caribbean with an average of forty grand slams each season (bonefish, permit and tarpon in one day) and over a dozen super grand slams (grand slam plus snook). The guides have the longest average tenure (18 years) of any lodge in the flats fishing world. They are capable, and patient and can be excellent teachers. The preferred method of accessing the flats is via a 16-ft Dolphin flats skiff poled by your guide. The Tarpon- of course finding a tarpon and catching it are two different things, but the guides move to the deeper water and will work diligently to help you complete your “slam” as this achievement is among the highest honors not only for the angler, but also for the guide.
