Lake El Salto

Mexico's most popular bass fishing lake, Lake El Salto, is located 50 miles north of the seaside resort of Mazatlan.

Lake El Salto has a healthy population of trophy size bass. When the lake was first opened for public fishing its first bass fishermen found a trophy bonanza, with 85% of everyone who fished El Salto hooking the biggest fish of their lifetime. The aggressive bass of El Salto will strike a variety of lures all year, but topwaters and crankbaits are the best.

El Salto's delightful prevailing breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean assure great comfort all year. The fishing season is from mid October to the end of June.

Dinner at El Salto's Bass Fishing Lodge consists of everything from T-Bone steaks and jumbo shrimp, to meals with a Mexican flare. Wine is always available with the evening meal. We prepare a mixture of American, Mexican, and local seafood dishes that will please the most discerning palates.

Mazatlan with its fantastic beaches, is your gateway city for El Salto and is serviced by airlines from all over the USA. We will arrange your transportation from Mazatlan to the lodge and lake. Lake El Salto is located only a one hour drive from Mazatlan, which offers some of the world's best marlin and sailfishing.
