A Fishery Like No Other
Lake Picachos is less than a decade old, but it’s already pumping out trophy bass thanks to a strict management regime, fertile brood stock and an ample population of protein-packed tilapia. During the best times, it’s not unusual for a pair of skilled anglers to catch 200 to 300 fish in a day, and there really are no bad times – the fishery is just so healthy that it’s the perfect place for novices and experts alike to fish until their thumbs are raw. The real question is how do you want to catch them? There may be no better top water lake on earth, but if you’d like to work on your flipping, or cranking, or your deep water game, any of those can put you on the best bite of your life. The fly fishing is also exceptional, and some of our best “numbers” days have come on the long rod.
Accommodations
We’ve constructed traditional lakeside casitas, complete with air-conditioning and comfortable beds that enable you to get a good night’s sleep after a fun day on the water. Step outside and you’re right at the edge of the lake, close to our dining area, where our world-class chef will fill your belly with cooked to order meals, and our bartender never lets your glass get empty. Just an hour away from the bustling resort town of Mazatlan, you can come for the day and head back to the beach, but with accommodations and scenery like this, you’ll probably prefer to stay at the lake.

The Most Up-and-Coming Bass – Producing Lake!
Lake Picachos is our newest, youngest, very fertile, and already producing Trophy Bass lake in Mexico. Thanks to a very strict maintenance program and a positive population of protein-packed tilapia, fishing this lake on the daily could produce 200-300 fish in one day. It is one of the best top-water lakes you’ll find on your travels. You would be hard pressed to have a bad day on Lake Picachos. Avid anglers, and beginners as well, will enjoy the quantity this fishery provides as well as heavy bass catches. Fly fishing is also exceptional as large numbers have been caught “on the fly”. All Rods are Welcome!
Experience Fishing Like Never Before!
If you’ve always dreamed of catching fish until you cried “uncle,” Lake Picachos is the venue for you. If you’ve ever wanted to reel in a fish and watch as two more tried to take the lure out of its mouth, now is the time to go. The population of bass is so incredibly healthy that you can catch them any way you want, and it’s just an hour from the Mazatlan International Airport and the nearby beaches.
