The island of Cuba is an exquisite kaleidoscope of sights and sounds and I often describe the country as an “assault of the senses”. In a good way! Unlike the dour and drab Communist states of Eastern Europe, Cuban Socialism has maintained a lively and colourful culture, with salsa and rhumba emanating from just about every corner and doorway. There is always so much going on in Cuba that it’s easy to get overwhelmed, particularly in Havana, which can be like a New York on steroids. The rich culture and history of this wonderful country have created an extraordinary visual feast, where visitors from all countries are |
warmly welcomed. In all my travels, I have not found a more highly educated, hospitable, and friendly people, in a more relaxed environment. The Cuban people love to celebrate and they let nothing get in the way of a good party.
In spite of the problems created by socialism, there is a great deal of joy found in Cuba and the energy is contagious. Cuba has virtually no illicit drugs trade,
which makes it practically crime-free. The streets and hotels are as safe as you will find anywhere and guests do not have to fear walking the streets at any time
of the day or night. Cuba is pure magic! The Republic of Cuba, with a population of 11 million, is the largest of the Antilles Islands, separating the Atlantic
Ocean and Gulf of Mexico to the north, from the Caribbean Sea to the south. It is 1250 km (775 miles) long and ranges from 40 km to 160 km (24 to 96 miles) in width.
The country consists of more than 4000 islands and keys, nearly 6000 kilometers (3600 miles) of palm and mangrove-lined coastline. The climate in Cuba is excellent,
with an average temperature of about 80 degrees. The rainy season is from late May through October and the dry season is from November through May. |

The island of Cuba is completely surrounded by thousands of kilometers of coral reefs containing the most diverse variety of corals, fish and other marine life to be found just about anywhere. For anglers, much of the southern coast of Cuba is a huge, sparsely inhabited mangrove and marsh wetland. This area is one of the worlds’ most untouched and well preserved ecosystems. Both of our fishing destinations can be found in this remote southern coastal region of Cuba. The fishing at Las Salinas, in the Zapata Peninsula, is located right in the middle of the largest mangrove marshland in the Caribbean, while the Cayo |
Largo fishery is located about 60 miles offshore from the Zapata Peninsula. At Cuba on the Fly, we specialize in group fishing trips for fly shops, fishing clubs and corporate events planners from around the world. We can also easily set up smaller numbers of anglers when a request is made. We take the guess work out of a fishing trip to |
