The fishing report covers a busy week at the lodge with two groups of guests overlapping. The first group focused on spin fishing and had great success, including multiple anglers achieving their first Grand Slams. Some in the second group tried out fly fishing on handmade bamboo rods, and many caught fish on their first attempts. It was an enjoyable week with great fishing for both rookie and experienced anglers.

Join us for exciting fishing adventures in Belize! This week, our anglers had thrilling encounters with migratory tarpon, including a 130+ pounder that put up an 8-hour fight. Despite challenges, we successfully landed the fish before sundown. Tarpon fishing has been excellent overall, while permit were a bit harder to find due to cloud cover. We're also thrilled to have renowned angler Hutch Hutchinson from Orvis teaching the Orvis Grand Slam school. Join our friendly and experienced crew to improve your skills and enjoy great fishing.

Overall the fishing was excellent, but there were a few periods that were very tough too. One of our guests, Brett, caught some nice tarpon from the lodge dock and had some shots at good permit. We also had some big schools of bonefish lurking along the new seawall, so there was good fishing right from the lodge.

Fishing has remained excellent, the only negative being too few big Tarpon. Skies have seen a few clouds, but we still had a lot of sun. Some really good Permit have been caught this week. Lots of Tarpon have been hooked and jumped, which is common when Tarpon fishing. Bonefish have been plentiful and grabby when we looked for them.

Tarpon fishing continues to be very good as we target the larger fish and continue to try and land the big ones! Permit fishing was solid when we found time to chase them. The bonefish were plentiful, and some excellent fish were caught. John Way and his Montana crowd had a good week with us and we look forward to seeing them again soon.
