The Belize River Lodge
This is the only operator that fishes the flats in this area of the upper coast. It is too long a run for the glut of anglers that fish Ambergris and the next one south is way out on Turneffe atoll. This makes this a unique experience, because the only boats you will see are Belize River Lodge boats.
This is classic style bonefishing. Tailing fish in shallow water that you can stalk is what defines the bonefishing flats. These fish are still on the smaller side, 1-4lbs, but bigger fish are present and you really can catch a bunch of them if you want to spend a day just bonefishing. Hunting these guys is a nice diversion if the tarpon or permit are off the bite. Permit fishing out of Belize River Lodge is a secret plus that isn't fished much. Everyone knows about the flats down south in Placencia, but there are flats built the same way, just a short ride from the Lodge. These are classic pancake flats with blue edges that permit love so much. You will find tailing and mudding permit here, in fact the most permit I have seen in a single day came over mudding permit we chased around a flat one March afternoon- Huge Schools of Fins! We really feel that a serious permit fisherman can easily make a week of it here and enjoy some stellar giant tarpon fishing as well. Not many places on the planet can offer those two options in a major way.
Tarpon fishing has always been the highlight reason for anglers visiting this lodge. There are resident giant Tarpon 100 lbs+ to be had on any given day on the flats just outside the mouth of Belize River. That legitimate shot at a giant 12 months a year make Belize River Lodge extremely special. When you add in the fact that in late Spring you will see the migratory fish show up on the flats, you find that if you chase Tarpon and enjoy all the battles that come with that sport, this is a place you have to fish. The Bottom Line about BelizeThis is the best all around location we have found for all levels of anglers and all species. For the Tarpon junkies you have a year round fishery for the big boys. For the Permit heads, you have southern flats right off the front porch and for the beginner you have a ton of bonefish on the flats that will school you, spool you, and bend your rod. We recommend this trip without any hesitation to any level of angler.
