Stann Creek, Belize

Blue Horizon Lodge

SaltwaterNorth East Caye, South Water Caye Marine Reserve — northeast of Placencia

Permit guide Lincoln Westby opened this lodge on North East Caye, 16 miles northeast of Placencia in southern Belize, in 1997, and its parent company, Muy'Ono Resorts, rebuilt and reopened it in 2020. Up to ten anglers stay in five air-conditioned cabanas. Guides work the small coral flats between Placencia and Dangriga from pangas, often wading to tailing permit, with bonefish and tarpon the other main targets.

Season

Year-round

Guides fish all year: February to May is the classic peak and late November to May the busiest time, though the guides themselves like June to August best. Migratory tarpon of 70-120 lb pass through from late April to early September alongside resident fish, and days are planned around the new- and full-moon tides.
