I am planning on a fishing trip to Belize targeting mainly bone fish and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on fishing for these fish or have fished in that area before, any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
*Hi there gonefishin - aren’t you the lucky one. Most people recommend hiring a guide to get you where there’s bones to catch. If you are bringing your own gear, a 7-8 wt rod is suggested or a 9 if conditions are expected to be quite windy. Fluorocarbon leaders of 10-12 wt and flies #s 4-6. Then again a good guide might provide all that is necessary. Since wet wading is the order of the day a good pair of wading sandals or booties should work well on those pebble bottoms were the water is only 2 to 3 feet deep. Good luck.
How big is your suitcase and does it have air holes

Well, that would be a chummy way to get to know other BFT’ers.
Please! chumming is a word not familiar to a fly fisherperson’s vocabulary. lol
LOL… only you would pick up that one mi amigo..

Perhaps in the salt which I don’t do, but never, ever in the fresh. So Peter what wt rod have you been using for Makos?
I have not done any Makos just yet. I just know that
this one guy (Conway is his name I think) takes
people out (for a small fee ) for shark fly fishing.
It must be a huge rush to do that.
Peter
who is this Conway guy.. where does he fish out of?? please PM me an address if you can.. I may look at it to take my son in law out in November.. :-)..

Oh man, I did see him at that ff show early this year.He
is a guide or something. Kinda egotism kinda guy. I did
not care for him very much but his the only one that does it I guess.
I did try to shake his hand to show my respect but he was
just like , yeah whatever. So Im over him. Business must be good (those days anyways) if he can do that.
Anyways thats all I know.
hope this helps a little.
Peter
thanks for the info.. Ill do some checking on line and see what I can find.. but if he is as egotistic as you say I may just take my business elsewhere… :-)..
MacFly 
I think he has a TV show as well. Cheap fishing or fish
for a buck or something like that. I never watched it.
I dont get those channels [frown]
Now, his wife runs a SoCal surf fishing forum and
she is a super nice person. A surfer, flyfisher and also
both a the same time . She would stand on a paddle
bord and fly fish in a ocean.Yeah.
Anyways, look him up and maybe he will be nicer to you
