Grand Slam Lodge

What we like Few destinations consistently provide the number of shots at permit that fly anglers are afforded in Ascension Bay and its neighboring shallows. Even fewer places boast the abundance of bonefish, snook and tarpon to also present as many opportunities to achieve a rare flats slam. Strategically located in the outskirts of Punta
