Belize is currently the No 1 spot for fly fishing in the world.
Because of its unique shoreline and reef, fishing flats are abundant
along the coast and thus a fly fisherman’s haven. Most fishing
flats are 10 minutes away!!
Grand Slams are commonly caught in these areas (Permet, Tarpon
and Bone Fish each caught in one day). Other fish often caught are
Snooks, Barracuda, Snappers and Sharks. Most fishing is done
off the boat to cover a larger area during the time period and
a little wading is also available.
For those novice fishermen we provide a number of services including
fly-casting and fly-tying lessons as well as the opportunity to
purchase locally made flies.
The fly-fisher will usually bring his/ her own equipment and therefore

Belize is a fisherman’s heaven and exploring beyond the reef,
out into the big blue, only adds to the great adventure. Fish are
not only plentiful beyond the reef but are far more likely to be
larger than those found inside the reef and therefore fisherman
are often far more excited about their catch.
Those fish that are expected to be biting are Wahoo, Sailfish,
Kingfish, Snapper, Grouper, Jacks, Sharks and Barracudas.
Trawling
½ day $200 US / Full Day $250US
Max No 4
Trawling can be done both inside and outside of the reef and is
a popular method of fishing amongst fishermen.
