Hi there !
I found this post, and not finding anyone sending a reply, I just wanted to share some comments from a friend he just went Lake El Salto during same dates than another one.
They choose different Companies and they got quite different success.
LIke Tag Watson, I have been sticked to basselsalto.com since many years.
I am glad I found them, because in the past, I used to pay twice their prices with a so call BETTER COMPANY as they always claim to be the only outfitter at Lake El Salto, which it is not true at all.
Now, if you hear bad comments about Lake El Salto, you should send this article or comments, because these are not true. Lake El Salto is getting better and better.
Just for your files:

Happy Holidays!
I am sorry to read about your disappointing trip to Lake El Salto with the company?………
Lake El Salto, like any lake, has productive areas and patterns which change from week to week due to the fluctuating water levels, forage migrations, temperatures, etc.
This makes hiring the right guide service imperative because we do not have the luxury of pre-fishing prior to our arrival.
I just returned home from Lake El Salto (Dec. 17-Dec. 19) and had another amazing experience with Amazing Outdoors Tours http://www.basselsalto.com.
I know Pat has enjoyed success with this company and they are the most reasonably priced guide service on the lake.
The guides know where the fish are! During these dates the big fish were in 20-30 feet of water on the edges of drop-offs and creek channels.
Without the knowledge of the guides it would have taken me at least two days (or more) to establish the intricacies of this pattern.
We caught around 30 fish topping 8 and 9 pounds with several in the 10 to 11 pound range.
I highly recommend giving Amazing Outdoors Tours a try before giving up on Lake El Salto.
It is truly world class fishing and they are a world class guide service. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. I will enclose some pictures to back up these claimss. [email protected]
