El pescador- Belize

[Chad]

Thanks MarkF- thats great to hear!I booked it through Ed, so I assume its him. I did a couple days through him in Mexico and he has been great to deal with! The DIY part was for the evenings as Im going solo so hope to squeeze in as much as possible. When you were there was there any particular fly/colour outside of the usual stuff that seemed to work?

They use a lot of crazy charlies. I did well with bone fish bitters. Make sure you have flies of different weights from very light Bead chain eyes to to extra small lead eyes. Belize has one of the best chances for a grand slam( bone fish, permit, tarpon) so you might think about flies for those too.

Thanks ok- appreciate the tips! ive been tying everything so hopefully I have the bases covered.
Cheers

My gf and I went in the fall of 2013 and booked through Orvis travel.

It was outstanding---we took advantange of the 2 for one deal. Every detail was thought out. I highly recommend it.

Kathy got a nice tarpon on spinning gear and plenty of bones on fly. I spooked a permit, caught unlimited bonefish, some jacks, snapper and cudas on fly.

The fly of the day was the Gotcha.

The food was great, the service great, thry made you feel like we were their house guests.

This was my second trip, the first done by ourselves and id never do that again after staying at El Pescador.

That's great to hear! I too took advantage of the 2 for 1...but am going solo (still discounted). I have the option of adding a second (big discount plus I get a bit of a discount through Ed). Trip is available, if someone wants to join me send me a pm for details.

Been to El Pescador twice.....just be aware that most of the bones are small

Chad, did you get there?

Tell me you did and it was fantastic. I leave on Sunday for a week.
