Costa Rica or Belize could be an option, just go with a reputable service, and travel with them while 'in country' ( more in Belize ). Fish Tales could maybe help you out. Yucatan...bit dicey right now, even in the resorts. Baja is slated as a no go. I've also heard that San Diego, of all places, can solve the beach, kids and fishing all in one go. Just my 2 cents!

Candycane soft hackle in Sz8. Phosphor floss body, pheasant rump tail/wing with red guinea fowl and a Schlappen front hackle with a Rudolph red nose. Merry Fishmas!

Decided to take advantage of the weather today and spent the day down fishing the banks at Fish Creek Park. Awesome day, one of the best was taking OFF my clothing from being too hot! LOL! Had a couple nice tugs on the line but that was about it. Not the point though. I spoke with a great couple fellows who were down to enjoy the day as well and do some fly fishing themselves, and was nice to share some fish tales and talk spring. Met another fellow who said he had his best day on the Bow River ever! He caught a few nice Whitefish and was very happy to tell me about it. Sometimes, it is just so great, and i am so thankful to share these times and look forward to always meeting new fishing friends, and being thankful for this wonderful journey. Cheers.

I came across a double sleeping bag draped over a large flat boulder along a river once. Contents of the sleeping bag were stacked 2 deep, moanin' and groanin' and doin' the inchworm. I don't believe they ever heard me when I scrambled by in that narrow assed canyon although I did consider tossin' rocks at them for a bit.
