Welcome to Belize.
The living is easy down here and the fishing is excellent. We take great
pride in showing our guests what a fantastic country we have and we
work 24/7 to ensure that your hard earned fishing trip is everything
you envisioned it being. We are the only company that runs trips throughout
the entire country of Belize and that includes all three of the coral
atolls found off the coast. We only specialize in fishing Belize and
unlike the many “conglomerate companies” who claim to be
experts in booking fishing trips to all corners of the world, we actually
live and work in Belize.
Wouldn’t you rather book a trip with a company whose sole focus
is the one location that you are considering? Our business is fishing
Belize, not Christmas Island, the Bahamas, or Russia. (The only exception
is our Giant Tarpon River Trip in Southern Honduras) We have been fishing
the waters of Belize for the better part of 35 years and there are few
who know the waters better than we do. This
knowledge should be working for YOU!
Most people have less time than that, but we can
still do some extraordinary tailor made trips that only take a week
to 10 days. If you’d like to a real mixed bag trip, we can put
something together for you that can include a few days of fly fishing,
a few days of golf and several days of deep sea fishing. Our customized
trip itineraries are limited only by your imagination.
The county of Belize has so much to offer anglers and there really is
no other place where the variety of species available is nearly matched
by the different number of fishing situations that are found along our
coast. Whether you fly fish, spin cast, troll, or are interested in
deep sea, fishing our guides are ready to put you into fish. We practice
catch, photograph, and release and are firm believers in the practice
of sustainable development.
The huge mangrove estuaries of Belize play an enormous role in the continued
quality of the fishery. These forests act as breeding grounds for all
manner of species that swim the waters of the Caribbean Sea. When fishing
the mangroves of Belize, you never know what species of fish you’ll
run into. On Ambergris Caye, for example, the bonefish swim and cruise
the mangroves in excellent numbers, while in Southern Belize you’re
far more likely to run into some snook or jacks. You just never know!

Off the coast, between the reef and mainland, Belize has hundreds of
islands of varying sizes and populations. Some of these islands, like
Southwater Caye, are located right on the reef. We will frequently be
chasing bones or permit on the flats only to end up outside the reef
when weather allows, chasing bonito, tuna, and dorado. Where else can
you do that in a single day?

We have the country covered from top to bottom and
have a variety of trips to meet all budgets and time constraints. Our
customized trip have become very popular and if you’ve got 2 weeks
we can put a trip together for you that will allow you to fish from one
end of the country to the other, as we did this year for a fly shop in
Montana.
The pristine lagoons and rivers which run throughout
the country are a brackish Mecca for tarpon and snook. These waters also
hold surprising numbers of permit, as the now famous Ycacos Lagoon has
demonstrated for the past 20 years. In the past 3 years we’ve stumbled
into several coastal lagoons where we were amazed by the number of permit
we found. These locations are closely guarded secrets but we do fish them
regularly with great results.
The jewel of Belize’s eco-system is its Barrier Reef, which runs
down almost the entire length of the country. The reef attracts every
fish in the ocean, from small flats dwellers like box fish to big pelagics
like wahoo, tuna, and marlin. Small fish find food and shelter in the
reef which in turn attracts much larger predators. Huge schools of baitfish
also follow the reef offshore which leads to some dynamic Blue water fishing.

The coastal waters of Belize boast three of the four Atolls found in the
Western Hemisphere. Lighthouse Reef Atoll, Turneffe Atoll, and Glovers
Reef Atoll are each excellent fisheries. The beauty found within each
of these coral atolls is nothing short of incredible and has to be experienced
to be believed. Inside the atolls, bonefish and permit can be found along
with the usual reef suspects like jacks, cudas and snappers. Outside the
atolls, the water depths drop sharply from the placid greens of the shallows
to the rich blue hues of the deep. The offshore fishing from the atolls
is virtually untouched and we are the only company that runs trips to
all three of these locations. |
