Fly Fish Utila

SaltwaterUtila town harbour, Utila

Up to four anglers at a time stay in a five-bedroom house on the harbour in Utila town, on the smallest of Honduras's Bay Islands. Local guides pole and wade the turtle-grass flats inside the reef for permit, bonefish and triggerfish, and two mangrove lagoons hold juvenile tarpon and snook. The outfitter is Orvis-endorsed, and dinners are eaten at restaurants in town.
