I run half day, full day and multi-day fly fishing trips from Placencia, Hopkins or nearby islands. Target species are mainly permit, tarpon, and bonefish.

Frequently asked questions about booking
How far in advance should I book?
The sooner the better, especially for April and May, which are the peak permit months and book up first. I keep a limited number of dates open each month. If your trip is built around specific dates, message me early so I can hold them.
What are the payment methods?
No deposit is required. All charter payments are done after your trip. Preferably cash payment (USD or Belize dollars), but credit card processing available for a transaction fee of 5%.
What is the cancellation policy?
If extreme weather shuts down a day, we cancel free right up to the morning of the charter. Any other time, I'd rather reschedule than cancel. You pay after the trip, so nothing is due up front.
Should I book full day or half day fishing trip?
I recommend full day for the best experience. We'll get the most out of the tides throughout the day, and more time to try different areas.
Half day feels a bit more rushed, with less chances of landing the fish you're after.
How do I book?
Email me at leslieflyfishing@gmail.com or WhatsApp +501-661-5709. Let me know your dates and what you want to fish for. I'll check availability and send details.
All international flights come in through Belize City, Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE). Clear customs, pick up your bags, and head to the domestic terminal.
Domestic hopper plane
Most people take a hopper plane down to Placencia. The flight takes about 25 minutes. Tropic Air and Maya Island Air both run daily routes and one-way tickets start around $150. Book in advance during peak season.
Tropic Air: tropicair.com
Maya Island Air: mayaislandair.com
Both airlines can help notify your hotel before you board, just ask at the boarding counter. If you're not staying at a hotel, there are usually taxis at the Placencia airstrip. If not, the airline staff will sort one out for you.
Car or shuttle
You can rent a car at BZE or book a private shuttle. The drive to Placencia takes around three hours. Good option if you want to stop along the way.
Once you're here
Placencia is a small beach town. Everything is close. Before you arrive, we'll sort out the best pickup point based on where you're staying on the peninsula. I'll reach out on WhatsApp or email to get that locked in. Need a place to stay? Here's my recommendations
