The Fishing Report

Week of July 26, 2008:
The backside of the full moon has brought with it a lot of good fishing on our local flats. Jacks, schooling bonefish and tarpon were all caught this week. Canadian angler Raymond fished with us this week on the wading flats for tarpon and landed his first, a 100 pound beauty on the fly. They had to move around a bit, but found them late in the morning (around 10:00am) and hammered them until the tide left them dry. Each flat has a different effect on fish around moving tides, and if you have a good guide, you will be able to maximize your efforts all day. As you can see, these tarpon are moving on the shallow flats looking for food. Ray's wife Jill was along for the ride and provided the great photography. Great caster and an all around gentlemen, can't wait to see you next year Ray. -Omar

Father and son dou Simon and Christopher were out today slamming our Tarpon fishery this week. Well, Simon Fields added another nice species at the very end of his fishing week....a Tarpon of about 50 pounds. Our head guide spotted some Tarpon while on his day off doing some recon work and reported to the others who were quick to move to that spot the next day with Simon and his son.

Week of September 2nd

September is starting out with a real Bang here in Belize. Hurricanes that start out to the east of us generally make a shift north and miss our area completely. That was the case this past week as our guests were pleasantly surprised by warm, sun baked flats teeming with fish.

Week of July 20, 2009

We are at our mid-way point in the season, the part where tourism is really down and the anticipation of our huge Tarpon migration begins to stir in our guides and customers minds. The big fish have not arrived yet, but our friends down south have informed us that the fish are thick in their waters. They should start to trickle in any day and by early August, or flats should be loaded with rolling Tarpon. The last few years we have successfully landed more large Tarpon on the fly rod than ever. We are proud to host Curtis Fleming and the Fly Rod Chronicles during the week of August 22nd. They will be filming their show with us all week and are looking to come tight with some Tarpon.

August 20, Fly Rod Chronicles

This week we were very proud to host Curtis Fleming and his crew from Fly Rod Chronicles TV. The goal was to film a show featuring flats fishing for Tarpon. The show will debut in early 2010, and we are all excited to see it. The big Tarpon migration is in full swing and we chose this time period as it would put the odds in our favor. These fish are bigger than our resident "year round" fish and can sometimes tip the scales at over 150 pounds.

Scott Runciman left the cold Alberta winter for some last minute fly fishing on Ambergris Caye this week. He found us after his local fly shop referred us to him. As soon as he contacted us, we knew that Scott was an experienced angler and we wanted him to get a shot at a slam. We have been seeing all 3 slam species in our waters since late February, but cold fronts can come through at any time at put things down for a day or so. Luckily for Scott, the weather held on and he was into the fly fishing action in Ambergris Caye
