Blue Horizon Lodge , Belize

Blue Horizon Lodge is unique, in that it has been designed around the seasoned angler who is serious about catching permit on the fly. Through years of trial and error, we have developed and mastered permit-fishing techniques that consistently produce. This fact coupled with the lodges geographical location make Blue Horizon Lodge one of the best destinations available to get honest shots at permit on the fly.

Blue Horizon Lodge is a small operation taking 6 anglers maximum, per week. The lodge is located in the heart of permit country on Northeast Caye, which is one the the islands in the Pelican Range, 18 miles Southeast of Dangriga, a small sleepy village. The lodge/camp at present features 3 private cabanas, each with its own shower and bathroom. A generator supplies electricity. The food is a combination of traditional Belizean dishes and fresh seafood. Fresh vegetables and fruit are incorporated in meals, as Dangriga is in the heart of Belize's agricultural region. Plenty of cold Belikin beer is always available as well as soft drinks and fruit juice. Blue Horizon Lodge is rustic, but the permit fishing is as good as it gets.

Anglers can expect to get numerous realistic shots at permit on a daily basis. Something unique to Blue Horizon's fishing program, and in contrast to traditional permit fishing, is spotting permit from the skiff, then stealthily slipping into the water, wading to within casting distance for optimal position, then casting to tailing fish. This type of fishing will blow your mind. There is no set fishing schedule at Blue Horizon Lodge as long fishing days are the norm. We fish by the tides, not the cook.

A few resident schools of bonefish will keep things interesting and one the best tarpon fishing locals in this area is a ten minute boat ride from the lodge. Barracuda, jacks and snapper are abundant.

No long boat rides are encountered at Blue Horizon, the lodge sits virtually in the middle of 100's of flats. The lodge uses 3 panga-type skiffs, complete with casting platforms, each with plenty of horsepower to scoot anglers between fishing grounds. Most fishing at Blue Horizon Lodge is done the way it should be, on foot, over grand flats that are solid and easily waded.

This is the toughest fly fishing in the world and not for the light hearted.  Blue Horizon Lodge is the only lodge dedicated to permit.  We know the flies and techniques to land these difficult fish.  We approach an average of 2 permit landed per angler per week every year.  This is truly your best chance at landing a permit.
