Fly fishing in Southern Belize in places such as Punta Gorda with Copal Tree Lodge or off the coast of Placencia or Dangriga with Blue Horizon Lodge or Thatch Caye Lodge is renowned for its exceptional permit fishing, with expansive, lightly-pressured flats that consistently produce quality shots. The fishery here is a little more technical than other comparable permit hot-spots, so having the proper equipment, tackle, and gear is essential. This fishery is also home to bonefish and tarpon, making it a true saltwater grand slam destination.
