Saltwater Fly Fishing in Belize with Fly Odyssey
Belize is the location that must be considered as your next saltwater fly fishing destination if Permit are high on your list of priorities. Over the last couple of decades the Permit fishery in Belize has developed to the point where there are several fly fishing lodges targeting Permit specifically and who have fine tuned techniques to give visiting anglers the best chance of landing these elusive fish.
There is also a host of the usual flats species swimming around Belize's pristine waters to keep you casting between permit encounters. You will have the chance to tackle Tarpon, Bonefish, Snapper, King Mackerel, Barracuda and Grouper. These un-pressured and remote waters ensure that you will have the flats and the fish to yourselves.
Fly Odyssey is pleased to be working with the best lodges in Belize as well as private residences in Hopkins, each offering a different experience and providing our clients with the right choice to suit their fishing and accommodation wants and needs.

TESTIMONIAL
"I got it on a Merkin, hook size 1. We chased the pod of permit up and down the mangrove shore, going through the fly box as we went. Gave it three good shots per angler per fly then swapped over and changed the fly. The guide said our best chance was if the fish moved in close, right up against the mangroves. They did and I was lucky enough to be standing on the pointy end of the boat at the time.
The fight was scary, several long searing runs, sometimes towards the mangroves or close in along the shore. I was convinced it'd get snagged and break me but I guess the fishing gods were smiling on me that day. I still don’t quite believe I actually landed (boated?) the fish."
