Ah, Belize…
In this episode of The New Fly Fisher they are down in Belize at El Pescador with Orvis guru Tom Rosenbauer.
El Pescador has a special place in my heart/soul.
A nice place to be.
I first went to El Pescador in 2010 with my buddy Shane. We had some less than ideal weather, but we had a couple good days on the water, culminating with my first ever permit and my first ever tarpon and my first ever grand slam (still my only grand slam).
The permit. Not a big permit, but a permit.
Loved the place so much I conned convinced my wife to head down there for our honeymoon.

We are going to try to get back there somewhere close to our 5th anniversary, but also when our son might be a little easier to deal with (he’s 3). So, thanks Tom and company for getting me a glimpse of that land I enjoy so much.
Spring Break will see me just a short hop from El Pescador and Ambergris over on Caye Caulker. Can’t wait to get back to Belize.

I share your love of Belize! I visited as a biology student in the 80s with my fiancé and have been dreaming of visiting since. I actually caught a cuda then. It really is a special place and needs protection and conservation. My heart was pounding watching Tom cast at the tarpon in the mangroves. Also, what a great show they’ve put together. Thanks for sharing and being an advocate for Belize. Eric
