Belize Flies.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

WLREDBAND, why do you use such small flies for those Bonefish? What's the average size fish you are catching?
Thanks

Turneffe Island is a different situation where the Turneffe Flats Lodge is a big deal.


They have had some of Belize's top guides out there for decades.

Joel Westby, Willie Dyer, Eddie Hide, and Winston "Pops" Cabral are all Belizean legends.


The Bones there are in large schools swimming over shallow Turtle Grass flats.

They use very long leaders and #10 flies that cast over the top of the big schools.

The school 'flinches' and then returns to feeding. It is not my favorite type of Bonefishing.

The lodge was owned by a dentist and his wife in Montana/Idaho and has a huge selection of really good salt water flies.



*Over a 20 year span I fished every mile of the coast of Belize.

I love the people, the food. the eco system, and the snorkeling.
