Placencia Belize Fishing

Southern Belize offers some of the best saltwater fly fishing, light tackle and trolling anglers can find anywhere, and the waters around Placencia (Dangriga south to Punta Gorda) are justifiably famous for permit - many anglers believe permit fishing here to be the best in the world.

But southern Belize fishing isn't just about permit - other abundant species include bones, tarpon, snook, King Mackerel, tuna (Black- and Yellow- fin), snappers (Cubera, Mutton, Gray, Yellowtail),  Barracuda, Crevalle Jack, Grouper and Wahoo.

Local guides are well-known for their knowledge of local waters, general guiding ability and versatility.

For more detailed information about fishing out of Placencia, see our information on flyfishing and recommended gear and tackle, and a Placencia fishing calendar.  

We hope you'll come fishing in Belize, and please do contact us with any questions you might have.
