THREE AMIGOS FLYFISHING BELIZE & HONDURAS GENERAL INFORMATION
To truly enjoy a unique fishery, such as offered by The Three Amigos, you need world class flyfishing guides, and we have them. With years of experience on these flats, you will be in the best hands you could ever find. Our flyfishing guides are local, licensed captains and tour guides that specialize in flats fishing these waters and will tailor your trip to make it the fishing vacation of a lifetime.With the benefit of The Host, our motherboat, you will wake up every morning on new flats. This is a service that no land based lodge could even dream of offering. That means we get to start flyfishing earlier and finish flyfishing later than anyone else. There’s no one telling us where to go. We go where the fish are, and we’ll be moving, while you dream of tomorrow’s catch in your air conditioned berths.We have a guide boat for each pair of anglers, and have done extensive exploration to focus on the wadeable flats to allow one angler to wade into the waters of the flat while the other fishes from the boat. Or, if you prefer, both anglers can wade with the guide instructing and spotting . Nothing quite matches the thrill of casting into tailing, Permit or Bones while wading. You can get closer to the fish than on board, and catching sight of a tailing fish is one of the great joys of the sport. Remember, much of our flyfishing is done while wading, if that’s what you want to do, but both wading and flyfishing from the boat offer unique experiences for the angler.

Our fishery reaches from Central Belize all the way down to the Bay Islands of Honduras. This is prime Permit water and much of it is wadable. There are also ample Bonefish populations in these flats and, unlike Northern Belize, these waters contain the Big Bones. We have landed bonefish in excess of 10 pounds and the “small bonefish” we hit are around 5 pounds. There are no “Baby Bones” down here. We do have the occasional school of “mudding” fish, but we tend to pass them by, because the Tailing, Permit and Big Bones are why we are here. There are also plenty of surprises, depending on the season. So, in a nutshell, you’ll encounter the three “glamour species,” for sure. But don’t forget the Jacks. While they fail to get the ink that the others do, a nice big Jack can be the highlight of any angler’s day. The fishery is so vast that it is necessary to divide it into two separate sections. We can either flyfish the North (Southern Belize) or the South (The Bay Islands) of the fishery. Each fishery offers far more than can be covered in a single week – hence, so many of our return customers. Due to the size of the fishery, we’ll choose either to head North or South based on the season and your goals. We use the best guides in each fishery so you will always be flyfishing with an experienced local who knows the waters well. Once you are ready to book your trip, we’ll discuss the best options, based on your goals, the current conditions and the time of year.

And don’t worry. We have hundreds of flats to choose from that can only be reached by "The Host". You’ll have them all to yourselves.

WHAT YOU WILL FISH FOR AT THREE AMIGOS FLYFISHING BELIZE & HONDURAS
PERMIT FISHING
While Permit continue to be the Holy Grail for Anglers, the ability to make casts to fish that are not continually being “pounded” by other boats, lodges and guides increases your chances for success. This, combined with the added benefit of being able to wade for one of these beauties, heightens the experience. Unlike the Northern reaches of Belize, the Permit you will cast to down here eat mostly crab patterns. This is quality flyfishing Permit water, so bring plenty of crabs and bitters.

Permit flyfishing is never easy. That’s what makes them so highly prized, but you will have plenty of shots on either the Northern or Southern fishery. And the truth is, many of these Permit will never have seen a fly. Let’s just say that improves your odds. Hell, it’s almost a fair fight!

Oh, and remember, weed guards on your flies. That will save you a thousand headaches along the way.

BONE FISHING

No pun intended, but Bonefish are the backbone of any fishery. That’s true here, as well. There are areas in our fishery where we have landed 10 pounders, and they are tough fish. They’re gonna give you a fight. But importantly, they are still here in large numbers for you to see, cast into and catch. Here the Bones are still found in ample pods and schools, and many of these school fish average a good four to five pounds. Again, as we said before, we aren’t taking you out to catch Baby Bones, and while there are muddling bones in smaller sizes, we generally aim for the big boys. But, if you want the thrill of your first bonefish run, you can cast into the schools for a quick bit of gratification.Also, because of the nature of the flats we fish, we often flyfish in waters with Bones and Permit intermixed. When the Permit are around, the Bonefish often get overlooked, but get a nice 8 to 10 pounder on your line and you’ll want to just enjoy the ride – oh, and as an added bonus, you’ll actually forget about the Permit for about 15 minutes. Again, don’t forget about the weed guards…

TARPON FISHING
When it comes to tarpon, we tend to do our flyfishing out of the guide boat. The flats and the lagoons that hold tarpon tend to be deeper and softer. These waters also often hold Snook. Big Damn Snook. While Tarpon can be seasonal, we have rookeries in both the Northern and Southern ends of our fishery. These fish will give you plenty to laugh about come cocktail time. Tarpon fishing is an acquired skill and your guides will be happy to help you learn the needed techniques to land these thrilling fish.

SEASONAL SPECIES
In addition to Bones, Permit, Tarpon and Snook, you’ll have a shot to cast into a variety of non-traditional flats fish. These fish (Dorado, Wahoo and Tuna) tend to eat Tarpon style streamers. And, yes, you’re not reading a typo – or listening in to one of Bob’s hallucinations. We do, in fact, get these fish in certain areas on a seasonal basis, right in some of our flats where we fish Permit year round. So we’d suggest you bring some wire!!!SEASON AT THREE AMIGOS FLYFISHING BELIZE & HONDURAS
Truly a year-around fishery...but the best bet to avoid hurricanes is to watch out for August through October. Some of the best flyfishing for permit happens to be in August when the tides have their greatest movements. It's hot, but it's worth it!

HOW TO GET TO THREE AMIGOS FLYFISHING BELIZE & HONDURAS
You will fly directly into Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras, when flyfishing the South Fishery, and directly into Plasencia, via Belize City when flyfishing the North Fishery. All local transportation is included in the price of your trip, once you get off the airplane, either on Plasencia or Roatan. In either case you will be on board the ¨The Host¨ within minutes of landing. No long bumpy rides on bad roads. When you book your trip we will coordinate your travel. You can fly direct to Belize City , Belize, on most any day of the week, but weekend flights offer you more options. The Roatan flights are on a Saturday to Saturday basis due to the need to fly direct. Both destinations can be reached via direct flights from Dallas, Houston, Miami, Newark, Atlanta, Charlotte and many other airports…check you local travel agent to confirm since airlines have the habit of changing flight schedules on a seasonal basis. But make sure to fly direct since this minimizes flight delays and baggage issues.
