Many species inhabit the waters of Ascension Bay and the nearby Boca Paila Lagoon, where fishing is also done. This provides multiple fishing opportunities to the angler. Many anglers travel to this destination in order to catch Permit, the holy grail of saltwater fly fishing, however, Tarpon, Bonefish, Snook, Jacks and other species are prominent in the area as well and propose unique challenges to the angler. When fishing at the Grand Slam Lodge, each angler is accompanied by one professional, English-speaking guide, this means that, unlike normal flats fishing, if two anglers fish in the same boat, two professional guides will accompany them, providing an unmatched experience for the angler. This one angler to one guide ratio is key when sight-fishing the flats, making more shots result in fish. Although the length of stay can be modified to fit your needs, most guests stay for a full week, arriving Saturday and leaving the next Saturday. Staying a full week provides better fishing opportunities, especially when chasing Permit. More fishing days also acts as a safety net in case that you experience inclement weather.
