Campeche: A Hidden Gem for Baby Tarpon Fly Fishing
Nestled along the Gulf of Mexico, the historic city of Campeche is more than just a UNESCO World Heritage site—it’s a world-class destination for baby tarpon fly fishing. With miles of pristine mangrove-lined coast, shallow flats, and hidden lagoons, Campeche offers one of the most consistent fisheries for juvenile tarpon anywhere in the world.
Campeche's waters are
home to large populations of baby tarpon, ranging from 5 to 30 pounds, making it an ideal location for both beginner and experienced anglers. These fish are known for their aggressive eats, explosive jumps, and relentless fights, offering an unforgettable challenge on fly gear.
​
Fishing in these waters is all about sight-casting. Whether you’re working a quiet mangrove shoreline or targeting rolling tarpon in open water, every cast is a chance to hook into an acrobatic silver rocket. The crystal-clear shallows allow anglers to see the fish before they strike, turning every encounter into a heart-pounding visual experience.
Beyond the water
Campeche is more than just a premier fishing destination—it’s a journey into Mexico’s rich history and culture. After a day on the water, anglers can explore the beautifully preserved colonial streets, visit ancient fortresses, or indulge in authentic Yucatán cuisine. Campeche is a city where tradition and adventure meet, offering the perfect balance of fishing and relaxation.
