Fishing

Whether reeling in large-mouth bass on the shores of Angostura Lake, or on its waters aboard one of our hybrid canoe-kayaks, or catching trout inside the knee deep waters of the Bavispe River, fishing at Rancho Los Baños offers hours of fun-filled, relaxed and enjoyable fishing. Unstressed, healthy and voluminous, the fish that comprise the lake and river water systems will make your time fishing unforgettable and enjoyable, a great treat for any angler, whether avid or novice.

Whether catching large-mouth bass, sunfish, catfish or trout, whether on the lake or in the river, you will spend hours enjoying the sights, sounds, smells and serenity of our fishing adventures. With a remoteness and tranquility that is welcoming, a surrounding scenery that is majestic, and a lake or river that is virtually empty of people, you will find yourself immersed in a very relaxing and rewarding activity.  Rarely does one get the chance to fish in a desert paradise like this one, where all the perfect conditions come together, in a fishing freedom not found in many places.

Whether bringing your own equipment or using ours, fishing at the Rancho will become a welcome escape from our many other activities. Indeed, there is nothing wrong with taking a day off from horseback riding or hiking, simply to relax on warm shores or thrilling kayaks, absorbing the gentle, warm sun rays, the stillness and quietness of complete silence, and the reenergizing quality of being the only person on the entire lake or river.

Fishing on a desert lake or an oasis-like river basin, with monolithic mountains in the background,  or enveloped by canyon walls, desert vegetation surrounding you, not a boat or jet-ski around, in complete and serene environments, is a Rancho adventure that anglers of all types should take advantage of.

In the end, sitting on a relaxing chair, under the shade of a mesquite tree, enjoying a beer or two, actively engaged in great conversation, reeling in bass or trout, readying the night’s dinner, a delicious and fresh fish fry your reward for a few hours of relaxing in a desert paradise.
