El Pescador - Ambergris Caye has been recognized by top anglers for over 25 years. Catering to all types of fishermen, the lodge specializes in light tackle, salt water, fly fishing for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit and Jack Crevalle. Our shallow water contains the only classic tarpon flats outside of south Florida. Our Flats are also world renowned for the opportunity to site cast to tarpon 12 months per year. Come to El Pescador and achieve an angler's ultimate dream- a Grand Slam! |
 |
Portofino - Ambergris Caye is located North of San Pedro, and sits on the most beautiful beach on Ambergris Caye. Although this feels like a private island resort, the town, shops and the nightlife are just 15 minutes away by boat. We can combine our hand picked guides with this superior resort for a romantic vacation that just happens to include some word class fly fishing. In fact there are bonefish on the grass flats right along the beach in front of the resort. |
 |
Journeys End - Ambergris Caye has been a great destination for us as it fits a lot of different groups. It please every non fisher and every fisher as well. One of the biggest things I like is that it has great on site fishing you can do without a guide. You can take the kayaks out through the back lagoons to some wading flats that are world class, or you can wade up the beach in front and look for tailing bonefish in the grass flats. |
 |
The Tides - Ambergris Caye is a unique trip for budget minded travelers where we match up a fine hotel in the town of San Pedro with the best guides on the island. You get the flight to the island, great lodging, the best guides but lunch and dinner are not included in these packages because of the plentiful supply of markets, bakeries and restaurants in town. |
 |
Caye Casa - Ambergris Caye is an assembly of 6 suites and villas that are located on the north side of San Pedro right on the beach in a quiet neighborhood. From 1 bedroom to 3 bedroom units are available. It is just a 5 minute walk to the center of town. The advantage to these units is that you can save money by being able to prepare some of your own meals.We will pair you up with the best guides on the islands to give you a great trip for a great price. |
 |
The Salamander Hideaway Resort - Ambergris Caye is a unique combination of white sand, Turquoise water and thatched roof cabanas in a remote area of Belize near the border of Mexico. We are one of the most remote destinations in Belize. We are surrounded by some the best fishing for tarpon, bonefish and permit on the planet. |
 |
The Sunbreeze Hotel - Ambergris Caye as a great alternative to the fishing lodges found in Belize. Here we combine a great local hotel with our hand picked guides to give you a trip at the fraction of the cost. WE don't include meals with these packages because the location in town means you will have markets, bakeries and restaurants to choose from and a meal plane does not make sense. |
 |
Turneffe Flats Lodge is located approximately 30 miles off the coast of Belize on the Turneffe Atoll. This unique system of islands surrounded by a reef has some of the most diverse fishing in all of Belize. The lodge provides the ultimate in service despite its remote location. Turneffe atoll has wadeable oceanside flats with a huge interior lagoon system filled with bonefish, permit and tarpon. |

Whipray Caye Lodge is custom made for serious salt-water fishermen and the independent traveler wanting to step away from everyday stress into a pure and natural world - where the fast pace comes to a splashing halt. A charming little island getaway, Whipray (Whippari on some charts) Caye is surrounded by some of the finest permit waters found anywhere as well as an abundance of snorkeling-worthy coral and sea life. |

Robert’s Grove is Belize’s top luxury beachfront resort, rated 5 stars by Belize First Guide to Mainland Belize. This gracious, beautifully appointed hideaway enjoys an ideal location near Belize’s premier fishing and sightseeing opportunities. We have the unique ability to please non fishing guests and the avid (or should I say rabid) fly fishing enthusiasts with the unlimited guided fishing that comes with our packages. |
 |
Jaguar Reef is an excellent choice for groups that have both fishing and non fishing guests. We will provide you with a unforgettable vacation, fantastic fishing and superb service all for a competitive price. We are surrounded by my many of Belize's incredible natural sites. It has the closest proximity to inland adventures such as jungles, Mayan ruins and caving, yet right on the coast. |
 |
Coco Plum Caye is an intimate private island getaway where you can enjoy the natural wonders of Belize. This private island paradise is the only resort on the island! The central coast of mainland Belize is only eight miles west of the cay. Off the seaside of the island, only minutes away, is the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. We will pair you up with our hand picked guides to make a complete fishing trip, the island also offers great unguided fishing possibilities as well. |

Fly Fishing Belize:
In Belize we have a large number of fly fishing destinations that offer world class fly fishing for bonefish, permit and tarpon. Belize is a special place for couples and families when some like to fly fish and others don't. Many of our resorts and lodges offer the non fly fishing guests all the amenities and activities you could expect in an exclusive Caribbean resort. Belize has the most even mix of the big three fly fishing targets and we have more grand slams here than anywhere else in the world. In general the further south you go the more permit you find and the less bonefish, not a hard and fast rule but reliable.
Unlike the Bahamas or Florida Belize is far enough south that even during cold fronts, the flats stay warm enough to hold fish. Having flats that hold tarpon, bonefish and permit year round is a very unique part of this destination and why it is one of my favorites.
From many of the destinations your non fly fishing friends can tour Mayan Ruins, explore caves, snorkel, kayak, sail, dive, ride bikes, or just hang out on the beach or by the pool. Look towards the bottom of this page for fly fishing lodges we recommend for mixed groups. Or click (Fly Fishing guests and non fishing guests)
Since there are so many fly fishing destinations we like in Belize, we have classified them in the following areas:
Ambergris Caye, The Remote Islands and the Mainland.

My favorite Tarpon fly fishing destinations in Belize: Belize River lodge, El Pescador
My favorite Permit fly fishing destinations in Belize: Whiparri Cay, Turneffe and Macacha Hill ( formerly El Pescador south)
My favorite Bonefish fly fishing destinations in Belize are: anywhere on Ambergris Caye , Turneffe Atoll
Ambergris Caye, is off the Belize coast, north, near Mexico and has a very even mix of bonefish tarpon and permit. It also has the most variety of accommodations We can fix you up in the unbeatable El Pescador Lodge ( one of Belize's oldest lodge) or match you up with some of the best independent guides Belize has to offer and a resort or hotel that will match your price range and style. One thing is for sure - the fly fishing in Belize is awesome regardless of your choice.
The Turneffe Atoll. is about 30 miles off the central mainland of Belize. This vast area of islands, flats, lagoons, reefs and mangroves make an ideal breeding ground for bonefish and permit. The tarpon however, are not as plentiful as the flats near Ambergris. With only two lodges in this huge system it is wide open. The other nice part about the atoll is there always seems to be ways to stay out of the wind. Its proximity to deeper water also lends itself to larger fish in general.
The fly fishing in the southern part of Belize is primarily known as the best permit fishing anywhere. Add lots of opportunity for tarpon and moderate numbers of bonefish and grand slam is in the bag!! Between Placencia and Punta Gorda are many islands, flats, lagoons, creeks and rivers that hold fish year round. This area has the least pressure but fewer bonefish than the northern flats of Ambergris or Turneffe.
The amazing part of Belize is the wonderful variety of activities for non fly fishing folks as well . Each of these destinations is equally if not more popular for diving, then snorkeling, mayan ruin tours, great white sand beaches, many of the lodges have pools, kayaks, sailboats, canoes, windsurfers, hot tubs, which makes it work for everyone. From honeymoons to fly fish till you drop vacations.
Fly fishing trips to Belize is our specialty, we pride ourselves in finding the right fly fishing location for groups even if some of the group does not fly fish. There is no compromise for the serious fly fishing enthusiast or for the serious beach bum, diver, snorkeler, birder, Mayan history seeker. these are world class resorts that happen to be in the middle of the best flat fly fishing in the world. Fly fishing Belize, Fly fishing the world in Search of Fly Fishing Heaven.
