The Turneffe Atoll. is about 30 miles off the central mainland of Belize. This vast area of islands, flats, lagoons, reefs and mangroves make an ideal breeding ground for bonefish and permit. The tarpon however, are not as plentiful as the flats near Ambergris. With only two lodges in this huge system it is wide open. The other nice part about the atoll is there always seems to be ways to stay out of the wind. Its proximity to deeper water also lends itself to larger fish in general.
The fly fishing in the southern part of Belize is primarily known as the best permit fishing anywhere. Add lots of opportunity for tarpon and moderate numbers of bonefish and grand slam is in the bag!! Between Placencia and Punta Gorda are many islands, flats, lagoons, creeks and rivers that hold fish year round. This area has the least pressure but fewer bonefish than the northern flats of Ambergris or Turneffe.
The amazing part of Belize is the wonderful variety of activities for non fly fishing folks. Each of these destinations is equally if not more popular for diving, then snorkeling, mayan ruin tours, great white sand beaches, many of the lodges have pools, kayaks, sailboats, canoes, windsurfers, hot tubs, which makes it work for everyone.
