Rio Lagartos Adventures is my family business and we are located in the Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve in Rio Lagartos, Yucatan.(This is where I grew up)The Bio reserve is one of the best Tarpon Fishing areas in the world and it is in our back yard.Together
with my sons Diego jr. and Jorge we concentrate on giving small groups of fishermen great fishing. My wife Matilda takes care of the great food part in our Ria Maya Restaurante
We are now in our permanent location and the restaurant has been remodeled and a new second story dining room added.
We have a choice of hotels in Rio Lagartos which now includes our new 4 room bed and breakfast Posada Diego and Matildé
and the three roomRia Maya Birding and Fishing LodgeOn the Waterfront.
In addition to Tarpon we have a wide variety of species to pursue in Rio Lagartos using the full range of light tackle.The Gulf of Mexico waters along our coast are very productive.
If you are the adventurous type we will take you to the most isolated and we believe the best bone fishing in Mexico.(beach camping-no lodges)
To me, all the photos in the website bring back great memories.
Come fish with us and we'll send you home with your own great memories!
Please feel free to call or e-mail me for any information.!!!

For bone fish we will take you to the most isolated bone fish spot in the Yucatan.Too distant from any town or accommodation to make day trips possible, we set up camp on the beach and carry everything we need with us.We make one or two trips each year with a maximum of 4 fishermen.

Fly Fishing Yucatan
with Diego Nuñez and Sons
The tarpon above was landed after a three hour fight that started about a mile from the beach.It was the first tarpon for Johan,a seasoned fly fisherman from Holland.We worked the 65 kilo giant to the beach to land it for photos without injuring the fish. It was revived and released.More photos of this catch on theBig Tarpon page.

Baby Tarpon are abundant here all year long.We fish them in the protected water of the estuary.Spin casting for these powerful acrobatic fish is also great sport.We can always show you the fish and put you on top of them.We can' t always make
them bite.! This is also an excellent place to learn the art of salt water flats fly fishing.As guides it's part of our job to teach.We have many experienced fresh water fly fishermen that come to learn .Baby Tarpon
