It’s called Gary Graham's No Nonsense Guide to Fly Fishing Magdalena Bay. Word of a giant fish paradise on Southern Baja's sparsely inhabited Pacific side has been seeping out for years. Now, guide and excursion leader Gary Graham (Baja On the Fly) lays out the truth -- and is it ever fascinating. Magdalena Bay is wide open for fly-fishing for highly prized snook in mangrove-lined estuaries to offshore marlin; plus observing gray whales from Alaska calving, exotic birds, kayaking, and even surfing. Fish, explore and photograph the real West Coast of Baja California Sur before the inevitable tourism and resorts take their toll. With photos, illustrations, maps, Spanish phrases, fly-fishing terms, travel and fishing information, this is the Bible for this unique region.
