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.

With five Grand Slams and plenty of nice Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit landed plus the great weather we had we would sum it up as just fantastic.

Large tarpon were caught early in the week, while the permit fishing was excellent due to the sun. Although bonefish were not the main focus, there were plenty of big bonefish tailing in the lagoons, providing excellent fishing opportunities. Some snook were also caught in the lagoons, flats, and nearby docks. The standout of the week, however, was the number of slams achieved by the fishermen. Phil R had a spin slam, John F had a Grand Slam, and even got another one later in the week. Gary and Brent both got Grand Slams on the same day, along with some extra permit catches. Overall, it was a special week for the Grand Slams.

This week at El Pescador Lodge in Belize overflowed with fishing excitement and surprises - from feisty tarpon taking boats for wild rides to permit keeping anglers guessing. Father and son Kyle and Jackson made history, each landing a Grand Slam in one day! Though we bid farewell to beloved director Will Stephens, he'll always be family. Come chase thrills at El Pescador and stay for the memories with this special community that will last a lifetime.

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.
