El Pescador Lodge - Ambergris Caye, Belize
El Pescador has been recognized 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.
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.
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.
