Fly Fishing Chetumal

SaltwaterChetumal Bay — near the Oxtankah ruins, north of Calderitas

Two anglers share each 23-foot panga with a guide and an assistant at this outfitter, founded in 2020, which fishes the north side of Chetumal Bay near the Belize border. Bonefish are the main target, with permit, tarpon and snook as well. Guests stay at Villa Marcela, bay-view suites and cabins with a pool near the Oxtankah ruins, or take a cheaper package in a city hotel.

Season

Year-round

Open all year and best from June to January; strong southeast winds from February to May shrink the fishable water, though bonefish and baby tarpon hold up. Permit are best from May to August, big tarpon from June to September and snook late in the year.
