Saltwater Flies
 

Saltwater fishing has become a wintertime addiction of ours.  For over 19 years we have been perfecting the art of catching bonefish and permit on the flats of Belize.  By studying and fishing to these great fish every winter, we know we can give you solid advise and help when fly-fishing in the salt.

These patterns have been used successfully from Belize to the Bahamas.  Don't leave home without them!
