I will be returning from Boca de Iguana to California in March. My friend is going to fly down and travel back with me in my camper. We would like to go to these lakes and camp and fish in a small boat that I carry on my camper. Just can not fine information on this. I am not seeking a guide. I go to cajon de Pena all the time with no problems. Any details out there ---thanks

camping at the above mentioned lakes will be much different than at cajon de pena.  tomatlan is very safe from my experience there.  the lakes in sinaloa are surrounded by towns that unfortunately you have to be careful in.  ive been to el salto and the lodge i stay at is gated.  i cant speak to huites and bacaracc but i know comedero can be very dangerous going it alone, lots of ugly stories involving banditos, etc.  id do some research before u decide to camp out.  that being said, all of these lakes are beautiful and safe if common sense is used.  They offer FAR superior fishing to cajon de pena.  They all also mandate catch and release....unfortunately its almost the opposite at cajon.  any other q's feel free to ask.

PS---im a gringo, if youre a native mexican im guessing theres less to worry about

No Mexico trips for me. Not in todays Mexico and USA relations.

My comment regarding being a gringo had nothing to do with foreign relations, it had to do with the way we're perceived many times when we visit third world countries:  a rich American with money.  I can't recommend enough getting down there to fish.  It feels like being on a bass playground, it's something you really cant experience here.  I went to El Salto when I was on vacation in Mazatlan and was so happy I spent the money.

PS--If anyone wants to see pics I'd be happy to post some

What's wrong with Mexico and US relations?
