Trip Overview

The Central American country of Belize is a well-known destination by both saltwater fly fishermen and divers. Its main attraction is its longest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, second in the world only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Its tropical waters are home to rich flora and fauna. Although there is good bonefish and tarpon fishing, Belize's star is the permit, one of the most difficult species to catch on the fly. Permit are found all over Belize, but the proven best spot is in the waters off the coast of Placencia, inside the Barrier Reef. There, anglers give themselves the pleasure of catching permit tailing, alone or in schools, of considerable sizes on average.

These waters offer impressive fishing of tarpon, bonefish, snook and jacks (mutton and horse-eye). Outside the coral reef, sailfish, Mahi-Mahi, wahoo, tuna (yellow fin and black fin) can also be found, depending on the time of year.

To get to Belize from the USA, South America or Europe, direct flights are available from Miami, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and Los Angeles. To get to Placencia, there are more than 11 flights leaving Belize International Airport daily (included in the cost of the package).
