Fly Fishing and Reef Fishing in Belize
Journey's End Resort is the premier fishing resort on Ambergris
Caye. Nestled between the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean
and the pristine mangroves, Journey's End Resort offers packages
for both the angler and non-angler. We host numerous fly-fishing
enthusiasts, many of whom go for the "Grand Slam" of
fly-fishing which is to catch a Permit, Bonefish and Tarpon,
all on one trip.
Fly Fishing
Fly gear can vary according to conditions. On a calm day
a #6 outfit is great. With stronger winds, use a #8 or #10.
Reels should hold 200 yards of 20 lb. test. Dacron backing
plus floating fly line. Fly lines should be neutral colored.
Leaders should be at least 9' long. Tippets are typically
8-10 lb. test, and should be clear. Flies should be unweighted
and tied predominantly on a #6 hook. Best colors are orange
or patterns in white, brown and pink.
Journey's End Resort has a limited supply of excellent fly
fishing gear available for rent. We also offer effective
flat flies for sale.
