We went down to Belize for our honeymoon and it was incredible. I have not done a ton of saltwater flyfishing, but I have fished The Keys, Mexico, and the Bahamas on several occasions. It is safe to say that Belize is now at the top of my list. Belize hosts more Grand Slams (Permit, Tarpon, and Bonefish) then any other country in the world, and after fishing here it is easy to see why. Our first morning we spent in the mangroves fishing for Tarpon and Snook, then when the sun came out we ran out to the bonefish flats and caught bonefish till the tide got right to chase Mr. P. That same day I caught a Tarpon(dink), Bonefish, Snook, and Barracuda all on the fly. My wife also landed 4 bonefish on her very first saltwater fly fishing expedition. We owe much of our success to Captain Eworth Garbut, who is the best guide I have ever fished with. Typically I end the day chomping at the bit and wishing we could stay out for a couple more hours but Eworth (pronounced Euort) had me begging for mercy at the end of both days. His passion for fishing, knowledge of the area, and ability to get the most out of his anglers with the perfect balance of optimism/encouragement and criticism/instruction are unparalleled. We can't wait to go back!!
Go Fish with Eworth and his Brothers!! also we stayed at Turtle Inn
