Fishing trip to one of Fishmaster travel destinations; Ambergris Caye in Belize. Our group of 7 persons fly fished for 7 days by using fly fishing equipment, classes 8-10 and rod length was often 9' feet. We had a good fishing for bonefish, jack crevalle, barracuda and spanish mackrels.

The biggest caught bonefish and jack crevalle were around 5 pounds. The best and most effective flies for bonefish were light coloured Crazy Charlies and for jacks worked best Clouser Minnow in colour white/tan. We had a couple tarpon on for a while but unfortunately lost them both.

The fishing was done by casting from boats equipped with 40 hp outboard motor or by wading on the huge shallow flats. The local guides seemed to very professional and had extremely good attitude and knowledge of the San Pedro area.

The weather during our trip was fine and sunny most of the days, daytime temperatures varied round 30 degrees celsius and night time temperatures round 20 degrees. Only one day was cloudy, but the wind was quite hard most of the days that made casting somewhat tricky in some cases.

The accomodation was in Royal Caribbean Resort. We had double cabins/bedrooms with air-conditioning. The beds proved to be excellent and rooms were just fine and clean equipped with own shower and toilet.

The delicious food in resort restaurant was mostly Belizean cuisine including for example chicken, meat and delicious local fish. Special thanks for the cook. The personal of the camp was friendly and willing to help in all matters. Special thaks to Nando, the resort manager. All transports were well in time and schedule.
