| El Pescador Lodge
Ambergris Caye, Belize • Central America
E l P e s c a d o r h a s b e e n r e c o g n i z e d by top anglers for over 25 years. Catering to all types
of fisherman, the lodge specializes in sight casting the flats. The waters of El Pescador contain some of the only classic tarpon flats outside of
south Florida. These fishing grounds stretch for over 200 square miles offering some of the best sight casting in the world to Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit,
and Jack Crevalle.
There are several non-fishing activities available while on Ambergris Caye. The better fishing conditions are in the morning hours when the sun and prevailing trade winds are at your back giving you maximum visibility into the water. This gives you a chance to enjoy many of these non-fishing activities in the afternoon without missing out on the best fishing.
For the non-angler, Belize is host to diverse activities and abundant natural beauty. Under the pristine azure sea lies the world's largest living coral reef, acclaimed by the best divers. Speckled with 200 cayes our barrier reef is home to the "Hol Chan Marine Reserve" and "Shark and Sting Ray Alley." On the mainland, a short flight away, the magic of Belize stretches back for centuries. Explore mighty Mayan ruins, the lush rainforest, exotic wildlife and beautiful orchids.
Guided trips to these exceptional destinations are available on a daily basis through the lodge. Activities including the rainforest, Maya ruins,
snorkleing, sailing, diving and exploring the underwater world of El Pescador.

El Pescador is tarpon fishing the way it should be done. Huge, shallow flats with a light bottom, and (when the weather cooperates) lots of fish. This is sight fishing, just like the Florida Keys. Guides are remarkably good, and can be a tremendous help with your saltwater flyfishing skills. The lodge itself accommodates a maximum of 64 people, and there are 15 full time guides. Meals and accommodations are excellent.
