LINKS

The links given below are links to our favorite Websites for Belize and fishing.  Additional links are available as explained below. 

Favorite Belize Links

Following are links to websites that contain information helpful to visitors to Belize.  The following sites are our favorites, and more sites are linked on our Belize Links.

Belize Barrier Reef System  Information on the Belize Barrier Reef system compiled by UNESCO in connection with the system's designation as a World Heritage Site.

Official Placencia Website  Lots of information on places to stay and things to do in the Placencia area.  Sponsored by the Placencia chapter of the Belize Tourism Industry Association.

Seine Bight Village Website.  A labor of love by Benjamin Palacio.  Chock-full of interesting information about Seine Bight, including its history, government, news and deaths, even classified ads.

The Placencia Breeze  The on-line version of Placencia's monthly newspaper.

Placencia Humane Society  Website describes PHS projects and programs, provides information on its legal structure, and how to donate or join as a member, -- and best of all, includes lots of pictures

Ambergris Caye Site  Chock full of information about Belize as well as excellent information on Ambergris Caye.   The Webmaster, Marty Casado, does an amazing job with hurricane information and response.

Favorite Fishing Links

We reviewed hundred of sites, and have compiled what we believe are the most useful links for fishermen and women who may be interested in fishing Belizean waters.  We also included reviews of several sites that, while superficially promising, don't offer much in the way of fishing information. Additional sites are available on our Fishing Links Page.

Basic Guide to Saltwater Flyfishing  Although the focus of this article is on Southwestern Florida, its basic information is pertinent to all saltwater flyfishing, regardless of location.

Jim Flanders, New Hampshire FishingFishing site for recommended New Hampshire fishing guide.  Jim and his wife, Sandra, are great people - - and LOVE to fish.   They also generally visit Placencia for some non-stop fishing in February each year - and you can get in touch with Jim or Sandra with any questions you might have about fishing in Placencia by email at JimFNH@aol.com

Kiene's Fly Shop   Bill Kiene, owner of Kiene's Fly Shop in Sacramento, California, is very familiar with fishing in the Placencia area.   Bill is also very good about helping visitors to the area get properly outfitted, so you may want to contact him if you'd like to talk to someone else in the States (besides Jim and Sandra Flanders - see above) who has fished the area.  You can contact Bill by email at billkiene@kiene.com.

Reel-time Internet Fishing Journal  Good commercial site that offers some excellent articles.
