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 around Turneffe Atoll, anglers can expect shots at bonefish, permit, and potentially tarpon, barracuda, and more. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty-four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty six flies.

    Sharks, barracuda, and more can be caught throughout the Turneffe Atoll fishery. Some general baitfish patterns are ideal for snook (use tarpon flies above), while mylar tube flies and poppers are great for targeting barracuda.
