Best fly fishing destination for Tarpon, Permit and Snook
Considered by many fly fishermen to be the "Permit capital of the world", Machaca Hill is host to the world's most diverse fishery for light tackle angling in both salt
and fresh water. The availability of Permit, Tarpon, Snook and Bonefish make southern Belize on of few locations in the world that offers a legitimate GRAND SLAM opportunity all 12 months of the year. The port of Honduras Marine Reserve and Snake Cayes, a short boat ride from the lodge, provide a host of angling opportunities with its 130 plus cayes, rivers, lagoons and coastal mangroves. The barrier Reef and Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve is also a valuable resource to anglers with it's abundance of Bonefish. The Maya mountain's eastern watershed, which extends from the Stand Creek District south through the Toledo District, provides an abundance of fresh water rivers and streams for Tarpon and Snook. Freshwater landlocked Tarpon are found in the inner lagoons of the Ycacos near Punta Negra as well. In addition to the big four, there is plenty of opportunity for several additional saltwater species including Barracuda, Jack Cravelle, Lady Fish, Snapper and Reef species.
