I fly fish Puerto Peñasco all year long, and I am usually glad to see the end of February. Our winters in Rocky Point are better than most, but the colder temperatures usually cause the fishing to be not as good as the rest of the year. While November is really a good month to fly fish, December, January, and February can be our least productive fly fishing months. While some of our fish leave for warmer water, there are still good numbers of fish that can be caught close to shore with a fly.

Honey! Look there’s a Crane!

Not so Fast. The tall lanky birds around the Rocky Point shorelines are either Herons or Egrets, but are frequently confused with Cranes. There are only two types of Cranes in North America. The Sand Hill Crane and the Whooping Crane and neither live around here. The main difference between the Herons and Cranes, besides their colors, is their neck. Cranes have long straight necks and Herons have “S” curved necks. Herons fly with their necks retracted while Cranes fly with an extended neck. In this month’s article we will talk about the three different Herons that live around Rocky Point and save an article for the Great White and Snowy Egrets for a later date.

He also owns the convenience stores at both the Sonoran Sun and the Sonoran Sky Resorts. Whether you know Steve or not, his story is certainly interesting and inspirational.

Yes, I know this won’t appear until February, but I am writing just after New Year’s Day. We have quite a bonus here in Puerto Peñasco now regarding holiday celebrations. There was a Christmas concert by the municipal orchestra. There was a presentation of the Nutcracker by Destiny Dance Academy. There were various Posadas around town by businesses followed by Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, all of which saw lots of g
