LAKE AGUAMILPA 

The Rio Santiago river creates this 70,000 surface acre lake in the state of Nayarit. The newest addition to the fine collection of bass fishing lakes in Mexico. The lake is nearly seventy miles long with plenty of pockets, coves and cover for multitudes of bass.

 

It is located at a 2,400 - 3,600 foot elevation, 20 miles east of Tepic, Nayarit.  Many of the bass are in the 7 lb. range, with some exceeding 10 lbs!  Catches of well over 100 fish per day are common at Lake Aguamilpa. Additionally, significant numbers of double-digit bass are being caught. As the lake ages, more big bass will appear.

 

Most bass fishing anglers use traditional bass fishing methods; but fly fishing for bass is also popular.
