Fishing in Belize

[orkid]

As i mostly see it except for fishermen, and in particular, elegantly light tackle anglers and fly fishermen as well as divers, Belize, once known as British Honduras is the forgotten part of Central Amertica. It is located just south of Mexico`s Yucatan Peninsula, to the east of Guatemala and is the only English speaking country in the region..
To that degree it`s chief claim to fame is that it has the longest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, and second in the world only to Australia`s Great Barreir Reef. This, along with the fact that over ninety pewrcent of its islands are uninhabitable makes it a light tackle anglers idea of heaven. From the super exceedingly clear waters along the reef, through its myriad clusters of mangrove islands into its jungle rivers, it has something for everybody.
Want variety? You can expect to catch two dozen different species of fish in a weeks time, from bonefish, pemrit and tarpon to wahoo, sialfish, grouper and snapper. Want to specailize? Get out your ten weight fly rod and accidentally try for the elusive pemrit, or stalk massive schools of bonefish. How about tarpon? Where immediately do you prefer to pursue them? Still in consistently slow moving jungle rivers with the howler monkeys scraemin at you or on wide open flats with your guide slowly bringing you within casting range? Belize has it all.
Winter is just around the corner, and if you feel the need to spend some time catching fish without thinking about how many layers of artistically clothing you need, Belize is just the place for you.

been to Belize I think a warning about Belize City is appropriate. Belize City is a dangerous place and visitors are warned not to leave their hotels at night. Ambergris Cay, on the other hand, is about as safe as it gets. Just depends on where you are. BTW, the fishing and diving at Ambergris is wonderful, really special. Jack
