Realistic Expectations while Fishing
We have over 200 square miles of flats fishing and an abundant and diverse fishery. So what should your expectations be?
Saltwater Spin Fishing at El Pescador
El Pescador resort in Ambergris Caye, Belize is known worldwide as one of the finest saltwater flats fisheries anywhere. The incredible opportunities presented by this fishery apply as much to the spin fisher as the fly fisher.
Selecting Saltwater Fly Lines
Saltwater fish are always on the move and you probably have just one cast to a given fish. Increase your odds by selecting a line that will quickly deliver the fly with a minimum of false casts.
Tarpon Flies
The "Black Death" tarpon fly is one of the most productive here in Belize. There are times and locations, however, where other flies will do the job and sometimes do it better.
