On their trip to Belize, Mr. Mazur and Mr. Jennings first spent four nights in the southern part of Belize where they were able to do fly fishing and river fishing. This gave them the opportunity to experience both the balmy beach breezes and also the peaceful river. They spent the remaining three days in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye where they were able to fly fish the flats around Ambergris Caye for Permit, Bonefish, and Tarpon (The Belize Grand Slam).

Fly fishing has become a top sport for anglers as visitors from abroad come to Belize seeking the excitement of jumping a tarpon or stalking the elusive permit.
