Plug castors can fish for tarpon and snook on the lush banks of the Blue Creek river, located in the rainforest of Belize, while fly fishers will want to check out the saltwater flats off the remote island of South Water Caye to record a "Grand Slam".

Reef and flats fishing at South Water Caye
Anglers of all skill levels will enjoy the excellent saltwater fishing opportunities at South Water Caye, IZE Belize's sun-drenched tropical island located right on the Belize barrier reef, just a 45 minute boat ride from Dandriga.

Nestled in the small mangrove islands and tidal seagrass flats surrounding the island are a huge variety of game and food fish. Bring your favorite fly rod, spin tackle, and lures and get ready to enjoy the very best flat fishing anywhere.

Recording a fly fishing "Grand Slam" can truely become a reality as you land a bonefish, permit and tarpon all in one day. Bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook and the occasional baracuda can be caught year round in the flats. On the reef anglers are likely to catch yellowtail and mutton snapper, black grouper, jack crevalle, and barracuda.

Deep water fishing in Belize
Outside the reef deep sea fishing for red and yellow tailed snapper, and trophy fish such as marlin, sailfish, giant groupers, and tuna is accessible on chartered boat trips. All game fish are "catch-and-release," ensuring that Belize remains an anglers dream for many generations to come.
