A FISHING TRIP

FLY into Guadalajara airport and Miguel picks you up and takes you 35 minutes into Chapala for a one night stay in Chapala at Barb's place. One way taxi ride from Guad Airport is $350 pesos or about $28 USA dollars. The next day Miguel will transport a car load of eager fishermen 3 hours away to Agua Milpa Lake or Nayarit. This river basin lake is a man made tributary, spanning a total of 65 breath taking miles. Gotta GO! Agua Milpa is surrounded by mountains up to 6,200 feet. Full of giant rocks, trees, bluffs, and creeks, this tributary is full of bass ranging in a consistent size from 2 to 6 pounds and some in the 10 + pound range. The lake opened in 1997 and has proved to be a major contender as one of the best bass lake
available to the American fishermen. The roundtrip taxi fare to Agua Milpa Lake is only $75.00 USA. Many happy fishermen have caught over 100 large mouth bass in two days from the Agua Milpa. A two night stay in a cabin surrounded by a lush forest with a boat, fishing guide and meals is about $225.00 USA dollars per person. Many USA fishermen have added this spot to their list of fishing favorites. When you are ready to depart Mexico - you must call Miguel to take you back to the airport as he maintains the keys to Barb's place in Chapala.
