Belize City Fly Fishing

Jack Trout is an exceptional guy...he was super nice over the phone and laid out expectations very clearly, with great communication the entire time. We got off of our cruise ship and Dennis Young was waiting for us at the dock as promised. He was all set up with 3 super nice fly outfits with top of the line Hatch Reels! The weather was perfect, and we immediately set out to slay some tarpon under some bird frenzies and busting bait right off the dock! The Tarpon were going nuts, and with a couple good hookups and some acrobatic jumps on 70 lb tarpon, I was already smiling ear to ear!

Once my arm was dead from casting an 11 weight rod, we set out for the flats to get some shots at some nice bones. Along the way we saw a tight school of large Jack Crevalle and stopped to hook up with a nice one! Man those things can pull hard!!!

belize fly fishing guides2

The wind had shifted that day making conditions abnormal, but Dennis Young was able to adjust his locations and strategy to get us shots at plenty of nice bones! After I landed the biggest Bonefish I've ever caught, it was time to head back to the cruise ship. One of the best days I've ever had fly fishing in the tropics, and basically in downtown Belize City!!!

I'll be booking guides through Jack Trout every time in the future. He has the best guides at the best rates, and is an awesome guy!!

Much of the reef complex is a tropical wonderland. There are few signs of human encroachment (had Gilligan been shipwrecked here he no doubt would have refused rescue). Marl flats, just to the south, are likely to produce world-record permit over the next few years. Tarpon up to 100 pounds make their home in countless lagoons, channels and river mouths. Bonefish are readily available along the barrier reef and transitional flats. Glover's Reef, a thirty minute ride from our lodge on the mainland, is one of the last great frontiers for salt water fly fishing. Schools in excess of several hundred fish are routinely spotted and jumped.

DSC 2932

Every season our customers catch bonefish over 8 lbs and permit over 15 lbs in numbers not available elsewhere in Belize. We are the only fly fishing company offering regular angling in these waters. Most days you're likely to be the only fisherman in sight. You will experience a world largely unknown, all combined with the comradery and expertise of your guide and top flat boats and equipment.

belizemap

We also offer lodging on Glover's Reef in single room cabanas for early morning fly fishing escapes! Along with day trips we encourage our guests to take advantage of the overnight/guided lodging on Glover's Reef. All of our guides have spent their entire lives in the immediate area. They speak fluent English. They know fishermen and fish, and make it their mission to put you in proximity to some of the best angling you will ever experience. Groups of four or more are personally hosted by Jack Trout.

I am happy to announce, we are #1 on Google when you search: Fly Fishing Guides Belize City. My competition has to buy ads now.
This is a tribute to who you are Brian and your company. Years later, everything you told me was right. K2 Web Design was the greatest web service in the world and you made my business not better than when you took over, you made us the "World Leader in Fly Fishing." Jack Trout - 2023
Thank you, JT


Jack, I'm still thinking about the trip and just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what an awesome time we had in Belize. Handling a group of ten brothers, sister, spouses, girlfreinds and parents I'm sure was not easy. Your ability to consider all of our interests, vary from the plan, and adapt on the fly was really great. From scuba diving at Glover's reef to the Mayan cave tour to the incredible (bone, permit, barracuda, etc) fishing... all of it was just outstanding. Great accommodations, great food and drink, and the fantastic guides you put together really made the trip very special. I'm a stickler for planning and I can't say that I've been on trip where I haven't had to worry about a thing. You really did a tremendous job!! LETS DO IT AGAIN
Richard Gebhart, DVM Redding, California


Bravo Jack from the Mom as well. This Belize trip was without a doubt the best and more important trip of Richard's and my life and we have had some wonderful trips. The fact that we were with our children and they were all getting along so well with one another that can be contributed to the fact that they do love one another but also that you took away the element of dissagreement by planning every daily activity including who went with whom. Every day was an adventure for us all. Thank you so much Jack. You did a great job!
Cindy Gebhart

Unlike other angling locations in Belize, our lodge affords not only the opportunity for world-class fishing, but also chances to explore the many spectacular land/seascapes that make Belize a truly unique destination. Exceptional diving and snorkeling are a stone's throw away and we make all the arrangements for your underwater explorations. For those desiring land-based activities, there are river/jungle tours, Mayan Ruins, and National Parks that we tour daily. Wildlife viewing in Belize is truly unforgettable (tropical birds, iguanas and jesus lizards regularly join us for breakfast).

Jack Trout Fly Fishing provides a rare setting for vacations that are equally enjoyable for both the anglers and non--anglers in your party. The towns of Hopkins, Sittee River and Dangriga provide ample opportunities to interact with local people. You will find Belizeans to be friendly and open-handed. Do not be surprised by an invitation for dinner at a local's home. In Hopkins Village and Dangriga, you will find a variety of eating establishments and night spots.

ARRIVING - Our lodge is most easily reached via commercial aircraft. Travel time to Belize is rarely more than six to seven hours from U.S. mainland. Continental and American Airlines both provide non-stop service from the United States to Belize City. From there it is a fifteen-minute flight to Dangriga via Mayan Airlines (this last leg is a bargain at $95 ). We'll be there to pick you up in Dangriga and transport you to our lodge.

CLOTHING, EQUIPMENT AND IMPORTANT FACTS:

The items on this list represent everything that you will need on your trip. Since space for baggage is often limited in the field, it is important that you do not bring extra items. Your own experience should help you choose individual items, but don’t overestimate the predictability of the weather. On many of our trips you should be prepared for showers and hot sun.

CLOTHING – CASUAL CLOTHES FOR TRAVEL IN CITIES AND AIRPLANES.

  • Shirts: Cotton, or light synthetic blend such as those sold by Ex Officio, short-sleeved, or T-shirts; one light long-sleeved
    NOTE: Many travelers enjoy purchasing T-shirts throughout their trip and, therefore, pack accordingly.
  • Trousers: Jeans or light hiking pants. Shorts can be worn in all places except town.
  • Underwear: Cotton is comfortable, synthetic blends dry better overnight.
  • Headwear: Light hat with wide brim, including back of neck, for sun protection. Tie under the chin is advisable to prevent possible loss due to wind on boats.
  • Foul Weather Gear: Poncho – lightweight but sturdy (with any rain garment make sure the seams are sealed). Small folding umbrella can be useful while walking trails or in boats. Light- weight jacket or wind breaker for nights in the mountains or boat rides. A heavy cotton sweat shirt can be substituted for a windbreaker and feels great on the boat after snorkeling.
  • Socks: Cotton, athletic.
  • Shoes: Trails are often wet and therefore slippery, so your footwear is important. Walking shoes that grip or two pairs of tennis shoes (in case one pair gets wet and muddy). Flip-flops or shower togs.
    NOTE: Most landings on islands are wet landings and we recommend always wearing shoes in the field.
  • Swimsuit: An extra swimsuit may be helpful.

SNORKELING / DIVING

NOTE: Snorkeling and diving equipment are available for rent. Due to the difficulty in getting a proper fit it is recommended that you bring your own mask and snorkel.

  • Mask: Be sure that it fits properly. (Those with mustaches should bring Vaseline.) The best type is the strap-behind-the-heel type worn with dive booties. Flippers should fit properly because blisters can make marine activities very painful.
    NOTE: Those who are new to snorkeling may wish only to use tennis shoes for standing up on rocks in the shallows.
  • Booties: Slip-on rubber dive booties protect from blisters and protect ankles against coral scrapes.
  • Snorkel: Many varieties are available. Be sure the mouth piece is comfortable.
  • Gloves – Cheap artificial leather or cloth garden gloves.
    NOTE: IT IS DESTRUCTIVE TO THE REEF TO HANDLE CORAL, SPONGES, ETC. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH!
  • Divers: NOTE: You must have your own dive certification card with you.
    • Weights and tanks are available for rent.
    • Dive light if you are taking a night dive.
    • Wet suit jacket or shorty wet suit (optional for those who are cold natured, otherwise use a T-shirt).
    • Buoyancy compensator and gauges are required of all divers. Divers should have depth and pressure gauges, watch and knife.
