I can't believe I'm saying this but, I'M GOING TO EL SALTO!!!!!!!!!  My girlfriend and I were having trouble picking our next vacation spot in October.  Puerto Vallerta and Mazatlan?  I learned that El Salto is 1 hour from Mazatlan, so guess where were headed in October?!  Weeeeeeeee!

Anyway, does anyone have any tips, recomendations, ideas, knowlege, or ANYTHING they can add in this thread, to make my trip to ElSalto as amazing as it possibly can be?

I would LOVE it if you guys can tell me things ranging from the least expensive, yet still very good guide services, to recomendations for bringing my gear or renting it?  

Is there a way to get a great half or full day deal I don't know about that someone here does?

If anyone has fished it before, where should I fish on the lake, or should I just let the guides guide me? Are swimbaits a must?  Since I fish spinning reels, should I bring braid?  ANY info would be awesome!  

Cheers,

Todd

I would do a combo saltwater/El salto trip if you are staying in Mazatlan.  I replied to your PM.

Congratulations!  El Grande seems to know his stuff down there too.
