What happens

1

Read the water

Meet at the resort dock at 7:30 AM. Board the panga and run to the flats. Your guide picks the location based on tide, wind, and season. The boat slows, the engine cuts, and the guide climbs onto the poling platform. From here, everything is quiet. You stand on the bow and scan the water.

2

Spot and cast

Gin-clear water over white sand and turtle grass. Your guide spots a tailing bonefish or a cruising permit before you do. He positions the skiff, calls the distance and direction, and you cast. One clean presentation. The fish eats or it does not. That is flats fishing. Beginners get patient coaching on every cast. Experienced anglers get put on permit.

3

The fight and release

A hooked bonefish strips line faster than almost any fish in the ocean. Permit fight deep and stubborn. Tarpon explode out of the water. Your guide coaches you through the fight, handles the release, and poles to the next flat. Every fish goes back. That is the law and the tradition.

Common questions

No. Guides welcome beginners and carry spinning rods as well as fly rods. They teach you to cast, spot fish, and present the fly or lure. If you have never fly fished before, the bonefish flats around Ambergris Caye are one of the best places in the world to learn.

Catching bonefish, permit, and tarpon in a single day. Ambergris Caye is one of the top Grand Slam destinations in the world. Bonefish are the most common, permit are notoriously difficult, and tarpon are powerful and acrobatic. Landing all three in one session is rare and unforgettable.

Belize law requires all bonefish, permit, and tarpon to be released. This legislation, enacted in 2009, has dramatically increased fish populations and sizes across the country. It is why the flats fishing here keeps getting better every year.
