Belize’s shallow water contains the only classic tarpon flats outside South Florida and our flats are world renowned for offering the opportunity to site cast to Tarpon 12 months a year. At Journey's End Resort you can fly cast the lagoons for lady fish or snook or go outside the reef into the deep water for billfish and wahoo.
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.
