Belize

Belize offers some of the best saltwater fly fishing in the world. The hundreds of miles of flats all along the coastline offer fantastic year round fishing for bonefish, tarpon, permit, and snook. Reef fishing in Belize is great for grouper, tarpon, rainbow runners, cobia, and barracuda while the deeper waters beyond the reef offer exciting opportunities to fish for marlin, pompano, wahoo, sailfish, mackerel, and albacore tuna. Fishing in the jungle rivers is a unique experience as you pull in tarpon, snook, Cubera snapper, and jewfish amid a lush jungle backdrop and an audience of howler monkeys and tropical birds.
