Week In Review

Belize had a great week of weather again, and the fishing results matched!

The Orvis Grand Slam School was in town with anglers eager to fish and learn. Many “firsts” were recorded, and memories made. Our good friend, Dan Davala, was host and instructor for the group. Dan has been heading up the saltwater trips for Orvis Travel for a long time, and it’s always great to see him at El Pescador.

We had a couple more slams this week! Mark and Chris both had Grand Slams on the fly.
We are looking forward to some glassy mornings in the future as the winds drop a little. Will make for warm days and hot fishing.
