It’s been a tough couple of years for the airlines, and even worse for anglers headed to Mexico. Between route reshuffling, delays and cancellations, no trip is safe, and few have been easy. American Airlines has taken the brunt of the blame, fairly or not. There may be a slight bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

Just as our friends in Canada may want to escape the frigid winter for a fishing trip to El Salto or Picachos, so too will anglers in the northeastern U.S. benefit from a little bit of R&R South of the Border. If you’re coming to Mazatlán from anywhere along the I-95 corridor, you’re likely going to have to make  stops in Dallas, Phoenix, LA or Mexico City.
