Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industry’s foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing in Northern Belize, anglers can expect shots at bonefish, permit, tarpon, barracuda, and more. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twelve to twenty-four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty-six flies.
