Fishing Licenses: Provided at the Resort and included in the package. 
Immigration: You will need a passport or a certified copy of your Birth Certificate and a valid photo I.D., in order to obtain your tourist visa from the Mexican officials or your airline before entering Mexico. If you are traveling with your minor child, you will need a notarized authorization from your spouse in addition to the above.
Climate: From October through March the mornings are cool (low 60s) requiring a jacket or sweatshirt. By mid-day the temperature rises to the high 70s to low 80s. After March the mid-day temperature will rise to the high 80s through mid 90s. It is still cool on the lake in the mornings and evenings requiring a light jacket. Insect Repellent & Sun Screen: Keep it on at all times when outdoors as from time to time we have a little fellow called a "No-See-Um!" We recommend an Avon product called Skin-So-Soft (3 in 1). It has skin moisturizer, #15 sun block, insect repellent and it smells good! Deep Woods Off and others work as well.
Emergencies: In case of emergency, contact the Anglers Inn headquarters in Mazatlan (Mountain Standard Time) between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at (dialing from the states) 011-5269-807474. We have a cell phone at the Lodge and your communication will be dealt with immediately!
Water & Ice: Purified ice and bottled water is provided in boats and all Resort facilities.
Lures & Equipment: You will be able to catch bass with almost any type of bait. Using your favorite lure should work just fine. We do strongly suggest Crankbaits, Jerkbaits, Spinnerbaits and Top-water baits of most any color. These and 6 to 10 inch plastic worms and 6 - 7 inch lizards have been very successful. Hook sizes from #3 to #5 with 3/16 oz. to ½ oz. Bullet weights will do the trick. Line: 17 & 20 pound test. Rods: 6' or 6 ½' medium heavy. Reels: Spin or Bait Caster. More Info
