Jardines de la Reina Video
Short video from three or four years ago with footage showing some of the incredible flats in the Jardines.
Short tailing bonefish sequence at the end (it goes badly!)
Oh, and don't worry, the reruns end soon, I'm back from Steelheading tonight!

First Time Tarpon
Curtis Bartlett went saltwater fly fishing for the first time this past May.
Below are a couple of phots of his very first Tarpon.
Not a bad start!
The grimace on his face in the photo on the right is not from lifting the Tarpon, it is actually the sudden realization that any plans for "partial retirement" have now been completely messed up by a new, addictive habit. Seems the blame has fallen completely on me and Curtis is not speaking to me...until it's time to go again!

Stephen Doolan......Way to go!!
Not to be outdone by his skiff partner, Steve caught his first ever Permit within a half hour of Greg's.
A few hours later he also had his first Grand Slam. Awesome!
By the way Steve, the Pool dunking is standard procedure for a first Permit! Ask anybody.

Cuba Flats Fishing for $2590
Ana Maria Lodge (Cuba) Fly Fishing Vacation
Country Pleasures and Avalon are proud to present their 8th location for all their clients who prefer Cuba and its culture for a unique fishing holiday.
For the first time we are able to offer a great fishery at a very low price, so everyone can enjoy and experience this beautiful country. This is the best offering for a lower price venue in Cuba!!!
Fishermen can fish the flats of Southern Cuba
for as little as $ 2590 USD.
The perfect destination for anglers looking for adventure
South Ana Maria is the eighth Avalon destination. We plan to offer this new endeavour as a fishing alternative for those looking to broaden their angling horizons, while discovering a completely unpressured natural marine environment for salt water fish.
The area is completely untouched and exclusively maintained and chartered by Avalon. Species found in this area are: tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook, jack crevalle, snapper, large and aggressive barracuda as well as several other powerful species. Avalon’s goal is to offer another destination to unexplored, virgin waters, as we once did in other areas now well known and protected in Jardines de la Reina. In recent seasons we have visited these waters with guides and clients, with spectacular reviews. The results have been so positive that we are proud to spread the word on how unique and abundant this marine ecosystem is. The rich flora and fauna in this area also make it perfect for diving, as the waters are so clear and the species inhabiting the area, so abundant.
The fishing method we will use at this new location is the same as we are applying in Cayo Largo, with a rotation of the fishing areas, so that each skiff has as an assigned daily area to fish. Dolphins Skiffs with Yamaha 4 stroke 60 HP motors will be used to fish the area, which ensures Avalon’s high standard of quality and security. These same standards are applied throughout Avalon equipment found at all our destinations. The quality of food and service offered will be identical to those in Avalon’s other programs in Jardines de la Reina. The menu will be abundant with fresh fish, seafood, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Meat and vegetarian dishes are also available on request. A great deal of priority will be placed on the quality of meals served on board and the attentive service will be second to none.
This program is completely independent from the other Avalon trips to Jardines de la Reina, in the sense that anglers will arrive at Jucaro Port, where they will board the yacht, for a transfer to the first fishing area. The program can be booked for 4 to 8 anglers in exclusivity. Those staying aboard the yacht will be in 5 double rooms, all with air conditioning and private bathrooms. The guides, crew and wait staff have a separate sleeping area aboard and will be at guest’s beck and call throughout the week. Excellent food and service along with long days on the water in a scarcely explored marine eco system, is what this new and exciting trip is all about!
Ana Maria Fishing
Avalon is offering their 16 years of experience in Cuba with professional guides, fully equipped Dolphin skiffs and best of all: a unique and virgin spot to fish for Bonefish, Tarpon, Snook, Jack Crevalle and other reef fish such as Cuberas, Mutton Snapper, and Barracuda.
The Ana Maria Gulf area will offer you excellent Baby Tarpon opportunities, great Bonefishing, and Permit shots on frequent occasions. In addition to these species you will find Cubera and Mutton Snapper, good populations of Snook, as well as Barracuda.
How to get there
Anglers can fly into Cayo Coco, Cuba on direct flights from Canada. A short taxi ride to Jucaro where you will board the Caballones for six days of fishing

FIGHTING TARPON ON THE BEACH
Avalons video taken in Los Jardines de la Reina. Big Tarpon hooked by a client from B.C. Guides Coki and Jonger are both watching this one and Coki finally tackles the fish.
All of you who have been there might recognize "La Playa", just down the flat from Mangle Alto, greta place for big fish. The first Tarpon I ever hooked in the Jardines was on this flat.
