Belize, Central American fishing and fly fishing for Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit fishing inshore

Truly, one of angling's Central American secret-gems for Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit fishing inshore for sport fishermen and fly anglers.

Whether you are looking for exciting bill fishing in the crystal blue Caribbean or you prefer light tackle or fly fishing for bonefish, permit or tarpon, Belize offers it all.

You will have some difficult decisions to make when fishing for bonefish, whether to use fly or spin tackle while persuing your quarry. These scrappy sportfish average 3-6 pounds with some fish hitting the 8-10 pound mark.

Rooster Fish Along with the excellent bonefishing, you'll also encounter permit, tarpon and snapper in the same crystal bluewaters. Pictured at right is a sample of the prized permit.

Tarpon are often called the king of all game fish, and there are very few thrills that can compare to hooking a tarpon. Once you have a strike, you better set the hook hard, because these hard mouthed fighters will do anything in their bag of tricks to remain free. Leaping and twisting, tarpon will launch themselve towards the sky, and crash back to the water sending spray everywhere in an effort to rid themselve of your lure. The tarpon in the waters of Belize usually weigh in 25-50 pound range, but some go much larger.

Permit Just a few miles off the eastern shore of Belize, is the second largest barrier reef in the world. Residents of this undersea treasure includes wahoo, roosterfish, kingfish and barracuda. The reef also offers superb opportunities for skin and scuba diving.
