Scorpion Atoll Equipment List
Shop For Your Next Mexico Fly Fishing Adventure
A remote and productive fishery, Scorpion Atoll is home to healthy bonefish and permit fisheries. Anglers should prepare for wade fishing, and backup gear is strongly encouraged in case of breakage.
Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industry’s foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing Scorpion Atoll, anglers can expect shots at bonefish and permit, and barracuda are common. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty-four flies, or a more adequate selection of thirty-six flies.
What Weight? Currently, Mexico only allows travelers to bring in FOUR fly rods in their luggage. 7 or 8-weights for bonefish, 9 and/or 10-weights for permit. Backup rods are encouraged.
Bonefish: A weight-forward, tropical floating line is your go-to when fishing for bonefish. Beginner fly anglers should consider opting for a quickshooting line, while more experienced casters can perform with a more gradual tapered fly line. Ensuring a delicate presentation is crucial for most any bonefish scenario.
Permit: A weight-forward, tropical line that allows the angler to quickly load the rod, deliver an accurate cast, and turn over sometimes heavily weighted flies is a must. Longer fly line heads are handy here to both deliver flies at long distances, while also allowing for gentle presentations.
Over time, dirt, grime, and other contaminants can accumulate on your fly line, which can negatively impact your casting performance. A dirty fly line can stick to your guides and drag through the water, resulting in poor casting distance and accuracy. Regularly cleaning your fly line can help extend its lifespan. Dirt and other contaminants can cause the coating on your fly line to degrade faster, leading to cracks and other damage that can weaken the line. A clean fly line can help you detect subtle strikes and improve your overall fishing experience.
