Permit

The holy grail of fly fishing

There simply isn’t a more challenging or rewarding species of game fish on earth.  These illusive fish have been the target of salt water fly fisherman for decades and Ascension Bay is one of the best places in the world to catch a Permit.  Hunting for permit is incredibly unpredictable.  You may see only one or two per day or you may cast at schools of permit all day.  Once you catch your first permit, you will understand why Fly Fisherman from all over the world return year after year to Fisherman Lodge and to Ascension Bay, Mexico.
