Bair's Lodge Fishing Report

02 May 13

The fishing in February on South Andros is a little like the weather…up and down. February is a transition month from winter-type weather patterns to spring-type weather patterns. During February, South Andros will experience alternating days of low winds and bright skies to higher winds and overcast skies. By the end of February we have more nice days than blustery days.

Family Fly Fishing Ambergris Caye Belize

overview
Whether it is arranging for a massage in the lodge's massage room; a private fly fishing lesson; a day of diving or snorkelling around the world famous barrier reef; a round of golf on a private island; a cave tubing adventure or a jungle river cruise to a Maya, the El Pescador resort will make the perfect Belize family holiday. 

"El Pescador" in Spanish means "the fisherman" and as this holiday caters to all types of anglers, specialising in light tackle and salt water fly fishing, we decided to call this tour and accommodation by this name. But there is also more, there is one other way this great resort takes care of fishermen and its by providing a great, safe, exciting and entertaining destination that you can bring and enjoy with your family. 

For those of you who are looking for the ideal family holiday package that will cater for everyone, you need look no further. The itinerary detailed is just an example of what we can offer at this resort, for we have family adventure packages, couples getaway packages, diving packages along with Belize's famous salt water fly fishing packages. Just contact us to discuss your arrangements and we can even tailor make the perfect holiday for the whole family. 

The beachfront location of this resort provides several amenities for your enjoyment. People whose priorities are fishing for Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit... and the angler's dream of a Grand Slam are well catered for. Just imagine a Bonefish tailing aggressively in skinny water, giant Tarpon rolling across hundreds of miles of flats, the unmistakable black dorsal fin of Permit...sounds like a dream? Well you are not dreaming, you are looking at a fishery that is abundant and diverse and will challenge your ability and capture your imagination.
