Dreaming of Lake El Salto February 3, 2020March 1, 2017 by Todd Kline Ever dreamed of fishing Lake El Salto? I have for years, and that dream came true recently. I was invited by Savage Gear/Okuma to head south of the border to Lake El Salto to film some new product videos and an episode of Stoked On Fishing, which airs on FOX Sports.I met Dave Brown from Savage Gear/Okuma and Shea McIntee from Stoked On Fishing at LAX. We jumped on our Alaska Airlines direct flight to Mazatlan, and in just over two hours we arrived.Our pick-up from El Salto Lodge was waiting when we cleared the customs doors. Pretty easy to spot our guy as he was wearing a tournament jersey and flagged us down when he saw our tackle and rod tubes.Our pick-up from El Salto Lodge was waiting when we cleared the customs doors.

With my background as a surfer I have been blessed to travel many parts of the world, but this was my first time traveling outside of the United States on a bass fishing-specific trip.We loaded our gear in a van and were off to the El Salto Lodge.
