Huites & Baccarac

[mrkpaint]

I posted a report in March 08 about a trip to Huites. I thought it was only right to update that report. There is more on that at the end of this report; but 1st a little background information.

We had a slight scheduling mix-up on that March 08 trip which was resolved quickly by the lodge staff. It was a minor thing but it did make my buddy nervous.

The facility (Lake Huites Lodge) is owned & run by Terry Hollan of Texas and the Salazar Family of Sinaloa, Mexico. They also own and operate Lake Baccarac Lodge.

I have been to both lodges and have made at least a dozen trips in as many years, all of which have been excellent. I mean that the fishing, the guides, boats, rooms, beds, food & service have all been outsanding. I have brought clients, friends, my sons and my wife on these trips and always had a blast. It bears noting that we have never had anyone get sick or hassled on these trips.

We have traveled by private plane and by commercial airline but have never used the charter service. Other clients we have met at the lodges speak well of the charter service.

I liked Baccarac and will probably book more trips there but Huites is so scenic and uncrowded and the fishing so good that I can't resist going back. We just booked another trip to Huites in 09.

Cheryl Hollan, who handles the reservations had emailed me not long after our last trip and insisted on providing a substantial discount for our next trip soley because of the scheduling mix-up on our last trip.

Every person and every company makes mistakes. How they are handled may be the best measure of the person or company. I am more impressed than ever with this outfit and thier commitment to thier client's satisfaction.

I have no interest here except that I am a happy client eager for some more Mexican bass.

Attached is a picture of my wife with our guide Manual in Jan 08 at Huites.

Don't forge there is a paying sponsor on this website that has a lodge on Huites, David Fields. If you are thinking about going to Huites, give David a call. I believe  David can also get you onto El Cuchillo.
