Mexico Bass Fishing in Lake El Salto

In this article I will talk about one of Mexico's finest lakes that is considered by many anglers and specialists as the best trophy lake in the World! I'm referring to Lake El Salto, a beautiful lake located on the foot hill of Sierra Madre Mountains, covering an area of 27,000 acres.

Lake El Salto is a man-made lake that first opened for sports fishing back in 1990, when it was stocked with Largemouth Florida Bass. It was built on the Elota River and is located 55 miles north of Mazatlan and 800 miles from the U.S. border at Nogales AZ.

In this lake, catching double digits is a common experience, and the records are always increasing. Like in all Mexico, the bass in this lake are big and aggressive, so be sure to bring on strong equipment if you don't want to end with a broken rod! The average fish per boat is 30-80 and the current record in the lake is 18 pounds and 5 ounces.

There are great lodges located at this lake that will bring you all the comfort you need in your Lake El Salto bass fishing trip. The lake is open for fishing all year round, but if you want to catch post spawn females, the best time to travel is between April and June. Besides fishing, some lodges offer more amenities such as spas and restaurants where you will eat delicious food!

When planning your trip to El Salto, you should plan ahead and book with time, as this lake is very popular in the World. For this purpose fishing reports will be of great help; these should include information such as weather temperature, water temperature, hottest baits and colors and the average number of fish per boat. Most of the lodges locates there will have this type of information freely available for customers on their webpage, and if you can't find it there you can also request it.

Lake El Salto is just one of the lakes you'll find on your Mexican bass fishing. I invite you to learn more about this and other lakes for bass fishing in Mexico.
