FLY FISHING FOR TUNA AND DORADO

July 16, 2005, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, Magdalena Bay, Mexico Fy Fishing Report:

At Magdalena Bay, dorado and yellowfin tuna are located offshore in front of both the entrada and Puerto Lopez Mateos. They are finally giving the fly-fishers something to smile about. Warmer sea temperatures seem to have made the difference in Magdalena Bay fishing. The esteros, or estuaries, are also beginning to heat up with enough corvina, pargo and halibut on the sandy beaches to make things interesting. It looks like summer has finally arrived at Magdalena Bay, and not a minute too soon. The water temperature is 62-73 degrees, air temperature, conditions clear.
