Tarpon Paradise

As anglers we all dream of one day finding a fishing paradise where boats are not competing for space on the flats, where fish abound and are totally uninhibited in taking flies. Clear blue skies, crystal clear ocean flats and you. If you don′t believe in paradise stop reading now, if you are intrigued please, continue.

Lying in the lee of Cuba there are archipelago′s stretching roughly north east to south west encompassing Isla de la Juventud, Cayo Largo And Jardines de la Reina (Gardens of the Queen, named by Christopher Columbus). All these area′s have been designated by the Cuban authorities as protected marine parks incorporating many thousands of square miles with a strictly enforced no commercial fishing allowed policy. Here, there are chains of desert islands untouched by man, inhabited only by Iguana, Hutea ( a vegetarian rodent) and a few crocs. Mangrove systems cover the islands separated by channels, feeding flats and bays and its all inside one of the longest reef systems in the world which protects the nurseries and feeding grounds for a variety of predators. If this were a mathematical equation these factors would add up to Tarpon.
Due to the diligence and vision of two men, Giuseppe "Pepe" Omegna and Filippo Invernizzi, Avalon Fishing Centers are the only organization with access and permission to operate in all this vast area of water.

Inspired by the desire to create a unique opportunity for visiting anglers they have developed a true angling Eldorado.

I have been privileged to fish these locations since their inception and year on year I have witnessed the improvement and increase in Tarpon size and numbers. Today Avalon Fishing Centers in Cuba offers the very best Tarpon fishing for the discerning angler in three distinctively different locations offering hotel or live aboard options to cater for all tastes and requirements.
