Guests
will take the short 15-minute flight from the Belize International Airport
up to San Pedro. As you fly over the aquamarine waters that hold countless
islands and tidal flats, you'll get a real sense of what's in store for
the week. Much of the area is a mangrove estuary that holds numerous species
of fish. We
bring fly fishermen to San Pedro for two reasons: bonefish and tarpon.
And those who make the trip are rarely disappointed. The flats to the
west of town and those to the north and south hold healthy schools of
bonefish, as well as larger, solitary fish. The
huge mangrove estuary which is right in San Pedro's back yard can be fished
for days without ever seeing the same water.
Juvenile
fish in the 25 to 80 pound range can be found throughout the year, with
much larger tarpon showing up in the spring. The
spring also means permit when fishing out of san Pedro. Not
many people know it but excellent numbers of permit show up around Ambergris
Caye from late March until mid summer. Schooling fish as well as solitary
bruisers will excite all fly rodders with a passion for this challenging
fish.
The
permit will usually be found in about 6 to 12 feet of water so all shots
will be from the bow of the boat as opposed to wading.
The
restaurant and bar are both warm and friendly. The food at the Blue Water
Grill is divine and the chef is one of the best in the country. You'll
definitely go home planning to lose a few pounds!.

Located right in the heart of San Pedro Town, The
Sun Breeze Hotel makes a great base for a week
of fly fishing in San Pedro. The hotel is located right on the beach and
is close to a wide variety of bars and restaurants to meet all tastes.
If you're looking for a little nightlife after a day on the flats, this
is the ideal trip.
There
are many, many bonefish in this area and guests will get plenty of shots
throughout the day. The reef side, north of San Pedro, heading all the
way up to the Mexican border, is also a great bonefishing. If
the weather is calm, a day up at Rocky Point, where the reef angles into
the island, is extremely productive and makes a fabulous day trip. The
tarpon fishing to the west of San Pedro is consistently some of the best
found anywhere. The
Savannah Flats are world famous for their ability to produce tarpon year
round.
The
rooms at the Sun Breeze are perfect for fly rodders in that there is lots
of space for gear and rods. The rooms are very large and bright, with
2 double beds, private bath with hot and cold water, television and small
fridge. The pool overlooks the warm Caribbean Sea and the pier where guests
are picked up and dropped for fishing is right at the hotel. We really
like the rooms because of the view and the amount of space provided.
