If you’re looking to take your fishing experience to the next level, fly fishing in San José del Cabo offers a raw, technical, and unforgettable challenge.
From sight-casting to roosterfish along the beaches to teasing up jacks and ladyfish nearshore, this is a saltwater fly angler’s dream.
At Daliken Sportfishing, we know that fly fishing requires a different approach. Our captains and local guides understand the water, the wind, the current — and more importantly, the behavior of the species you’re targeting.
Top Species You Can Fly Fish in Cabo:
- Roosterfish (pez gallo): The holy grail — explosive runs and surface strikes
- Jack Crevalle: Aggressive and fast, found near rocks and bait balls
- Ladyfish: Fun and acrobatic, great for beginners
- Needlefish & Sierra Mackerel: Common targets on 8–10wt rods
Best Season for Fly Fishing in San José:
- April through October: Best roosterfish action along the beach drop-offs
- Mornings with rising tides and clean visibility are ideal
- Baja’s calm inshore waters provide prime conditions for shallow presentations
How We Fly Fish in Cabo:
- Teasing methods: hookless lures bring in the fish, then you drop your fly
- Floating or intermediate lines for beach casting
- 8–10 weight rods with strong drag reels
- Flies that mimic sardines, mullet, and needlefish (we help you gear up)
Recommended Boats for Fly Fishing:
- DALIKEN 23ft Panga: Lightweight, agile, ideal for tight casts and beach runs
- DALIKEN 26ft Super Panga: More stable and shaded for longer fly sessions
- DALIKEN 32ft: Extra comfort and deck space for two fly anglers
We also offer beach-based fly fishing trips on foot, guided by local experts — for those who want the most intimate connection with the water.
“Fly fishing in Baja is not just about catching. It’s about the hunt, the presentation, and the connection to wild fish in wild places.”
— Captain Jaime, Daliken Sportfishing
