For more than 50 years, El Pescador has been a defining destination for fly fishing in Belize. From our lodge on Ambergris Caye, anglers reach shallow-water flats where bonefish, permit, and tarpon are found in one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated saltwater fisheries.
The flats surrounding El Pescador are among the most accessible bonefish grounds in Belize. Fish commonly run from 2 to 5 lbs and offer strong action for both experienced anglers and guests new to saltwater fly fishing.
Belizean permit are found on both bonefish and tarpon flats, often in schools ranging from 4 to 30 lbs. Sight-casting to permit is one of the most memorable challenges in the flats fishing world.
El Pescador’s waters hold resident tarpon throughout the year, with larger migratory fish arriving in late summer. The fishery gives anglers classic sight-fishing opportunities in beautiful Belizean water.
Eben joins host Tim Harden to discuss bonefish, permit, tarpon, and what makes Ambergris Caye one of the world’s premier saltwater fly-fishing destinations.
El Pescador offers all-inclusive Belize fishing vacation packages that combine nightly accommodations, guided fishing days, dining, and resort amenities. Packages are designed for individuals, couples, families, and small groups who want a seamless fishing holiday without logistical complexity.
