Ambergris Caye is off the coast near Mexico and has a very even mix of bonefish tarpon
and permit. It also has the most variety of accommodations We can fix you up in the
unbeatable El Pescador Lodge or match you up with some of the best independent guides
on the island and a resort or hotel that will match your price range and style.  One thing is
The fishing is unrivaled over on the Turneffe Atoll. About 30 miles off the mainland this
vast area of islands, flats, lagoons, reefs and mangroves make an ideal breeding ground
for bonefish and permit. The tarpon are not as plentiful as the flats near Ambergris. With
three lodges in this huge system it is wide open. The other nice part about the atoll is
there always seems to be ways to stay out of the wind. Its proximity to deeper water also
lends itself to larger fish in general.

The fly fishing in the southern part of Belize is primarily known as the best permit fishing
anywhere.  Add lots of opportunity for tarpon and moderate numbers of bonefish and
grand slam is in the bag!!  Between Placencia and Punta Gorda are many islands, flats,
lagoons, creeks  and rivers that hold fish year round.  This area has the least pressure but
fewer bonefish than the northern flats of Ambergris or Turneffe.

The amazing part of Belize is the wonderful variety of activities for non fly fishing folks.  
Each of these destinations is equally if not more popular for diving,   then snorkeling,
Mayan ruin tours, great white sand beaches, many of the lodges have pools,kayaks,
sailboats, canoes, windsurfers, hot tubs, which makes it work for everyone.   From
honeymoons to fish till you drop vacations. You have to visit Belize, this is flyfishing
heaven!
