Founded by Charlie Leslie Sr., a pioneer in Belize’s fishing tourism, the business is now led by Charlie and his sons, Marlon and Charles Jr., who each bring a wealth of experience and skill to the team.

Charlie Leslie Fly Fishing offers full-day and half-day fly-fishing trips for anglers of all skill levels, along with spin-fishing charters targeting prized species like permit, tarpon, and bonefish in the shallow flats, lagoons, and bays of Placencia.

Each trip promotes catch-and-release practices to help sustain local fish populations.
Their fleet includes 23-foot skiffs and flats boats, powered by 70HP Yamaha engines and fully equipped for both fly fishing and spin fishing. Designed specifically for shallow waters, these boats accommodate up to two anglers and can access remote flats, bays, and lagoons.
