For the people still inclined to fly to fish it is critical to make the right decisions. A flight that’s too costly can make a trip prohibitively expensive. A flight that doesn’t fit your schedule can make it a pain in the ass. And a flight that’s canceled altogether can ruin everything. Rarely, however, are all things equal. So when should you consider an itinerary other than the least expensive one?

Many of the fishing packages offered by Anglers Inn include a half day on the water, either on the day you arrive or the day you depart. For a variety of reasons, it’s most likely to occur on the front end, if at all. If you’re already in Mazatlán, it may not be a problem to arrive in time for lunch and a full afternoon session, but if your plane arriving and you’re headed straight to the lake, you’ll need to be efficient if you want to make it count.
