Mexico offers saltwater flats anglers a staggering number of angling possibilities perhaps unmatched elsewhere in the western hemisphere. Knowledgeable anglers consider Mexico's Yucatan area to be one of the best locations to accomplish a grand slam; landing a bonefish, a permit and a tarpon all in the same day. Some anglers have even added a fourth fish, the snook, considered a formidable opponent and challenging to take with a fly. Barracuda, snapper and jacks are also available to flats anglers.
