Lake Picachos is Mexico’s newest destination bass fishery, and while it’s often considered a “numbers” lake it has produced quite a few trophies and personal bests. It sits in Sinaloa, less than an hour from the airport and about two hours from famous Lake El Salto.

Potential guests often ask us which lake they should visit, or whether they should go to both. There’s no hard-and-fast rule. People assume that El Salto is the “big fish lake” and Picachos is the “numbers lake” but we’ve seen weeks where that has been reversed. The single best numbers day we’ve ever had was at El Salto, and Hanna’s PB to date is the 9-12 that she caught at Picachos.
