Saltwater fly fishing is addictive. Plain and simple. The fish are strong, skittish, and they will challenge you. Spending the day in tropical clear water isn't too bad either. It wasn't tarpon season while we were there, but the elusive Permit were around, plenty of Bonefish, and Barracuda are a nice addition and treat for the guides to snack on (word is they can carry a bacteria not meant for us gringos).
Ashley brought the good luck, and we were the first of the guests that week to land a Permit. They are extremely selective with excellent eyesight. It took a lot of work and patience, but with the help of my guide, Mike (all guides at Turneffe are excellent, native Belizians), and with Ashley in the boat bringing us luck, we got the job done. Ashley got into some Bonefish too before the week was out.
