Palometa is the colloquial Spanish term for permit and is the perfect name for a fly fishing operation catering to anglers serious about catching this most challenging of saltwater trophies on the fly. The Palometa Club operates out of a brand new six-bedroom lodge located on the picturesque ocean-side beach of the unique lobster fishing village of Punta Allen, Mexico. Anglers can book fully-inclusive, week-long fishing packages (includes transportation to and from Cancun) in their quest for permit, bonefish, tarpon and snook. Non-anglers can enjoy snorkeling, guided eco tours and archeological trips as The Palometa Club is situated within the fames Dian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a 1.3 million acre World Heritage Site known for its rich marine environment, exotic birds and tropical wildlife, and vast array of Mayan ruins.
Tulum Myan Ruins If you want a break from fishing or you’ve come to The Palometa Club as a non-angler, let us show you the exotic flora and fauna of our reefs, lagoons, marshes, remote islands and jungle hideaways, or the hidden archeological treasures of an earlier civilization that built a dynasty along these wild, sublime shoresast array of Mayan ruins.
The Tulum ruins are stunning, a stone fortress perched high on the edge of the Caribbean that should not be missed. A walled Maya city-state, Tulum is a large Postclassic site built in the 10th century that functioned as a seaport. The dominating structure of Tulum is the Castillo (castle), which served as a fortress as well as a temple. Tulum survived approximately 70 years after the Spanish Conquest after which it was abandoned.
The Fishing
Seemingly endless miles of easy-to-wade, hard-packed white sand flats and rich expanses of turtle grass are the canvas for the world-class fishery that is Ascension Bay. Whether this is your first time flats fishing or you’re a seasoned veteran, their professional, highly-skilled, English-speaking guides will make your trip extraordinary. The fishing program is second to none because of the one-to-one angler to guide formula. This system provides two sets of trained eyes to search the crystal clear water for the fish of your choice. If you are wading, stalking a school of bonefish or hunting permit you have the security of knowing you have a skilled guide coaching you at all times. Noticing a palometa "flash" or a bonefish tailing is something you may not always see, but your guides will. Experienced anglers have often told us that The Palometa Club guides are the "best of the best."
For the saltwater angler the ultimate quarry is undoubtedly permit. For the same reasons steelhead or Atlantic salmon haunt the dreams of the fresh water fly rodder, permit consume the attention of the serious flats fisherman. Earning the same “fish of a thousand casts” reputation as those anadromous legends to the north, permit are rare, spooky, unpredictable, and have a nasty habit of snubbing your fly no matter how good the cast or how perfect the retrieve. That said, permit are actually far more “catchable” than most anglers realize. And, The Palometa Club is simply the best place on the planet to get it done. Ascension Bay provides the optimal eco-system for permit to thrive and the population of fish that swim these rich waters is unequalled anywhere else on earth. From schools of pan-sized baby permit to fish eclipsing 30-, even 40-pounds (including several line-class records), Ascension Bay is to permit what the Skeena in British Columbia is to steelhead, or the Ponoi on the Kola Peninsula in Russia is to Atlantc salmon ... Mecca!
