Ambergris Caye is a popular destination for fly anglers for its convenience to reach, and the diversity of fish species to target. There are several fly fishing programs here, such as El Pescador and Victoria House, that excel at putting anglers on all the key flats species: permit, bonefish, tarpon, and - in summer months - also migratory tarpon. Whether this is your first saltwater flats experience or your fiftieth, we know exactly what gear, tackle, and clothing is required to maximize your comfort level as well as your success on a trip to Ambergris Caye.
