Delta will resuscitate its MSP-MZT direct flight route, making it much easier for northern anglers to escape to Lake El Salto and Lake Picachos during the coldest times of year.

With the addition of direct routes between several US Cities and Mexican hubs – notably Mexico City – Aeromexico is now an option for even more anglers headed to a Mexican fishing vacation. Here’s more info that may make your decision to fly with them easier.

We’ve fished in Mexico approximately 20 times, and while it may be the same basic trip, the travel details always change just enough to keep us on our toes. We try to anticipate any challenges and then stay flexible and in good spirits when hiccups occur. These travel notes may not be our sexiest or most compelling material, but our hope is that by reporting these little details we can save you some aggravation in the future.

After nearly 20 fishing trips to Mexico, you’d think that the process would be remarkably routine by this point, bordering on boring. On the contrary, there’s something about the route from the US to Mazatlán, and then on to the lake, that’s ever changing, and fraught with potential missteps. If you’ve been there multiple times, you likely know what I’m talking about.
