1974, anglers from around the world have come to fish our prolific saltwater flats for
bonefish, permit, tarpon. We have 20 guides and cater to the beginning, intermediate, and
advanced saltwater flats enthusiast. We offer more choices and activities than any other
fishing resort in Belize.

wade. The bonefish run from 2-5 lbs, are plentiful and eager to take a fly.

well. Our permit are found in large schools and range from 4-30 lbs, with the majority
running from 8-10 lbs.

are spread out over our 250 square mile fishery.
