Belize Fly List
 
Belize has much the same type of flats that you find in Mexico’s Yucatan. Most of the following patterns work well in both places. A few are special to Belize and the Turneffe Island area. Add these to your Bonefish Basics...
Tan Mini Shrimp                                            size 8
Green Mini Shrimp                                         size 8
Baited Breath                                                 size 8
JT Special                                                     size 8
Turd                                                            size 8          Tan
Cuzan Special                                                size 6        
Bonefish Bitters                                size 8           Hermit or Olive
Bonefish Bitters                                size 8           Amber or Chartreuse
Exuma Mini Puff                                            size 4           Tan or Pink
Grassy Wonder                                              size 8
Turneffe Crab                                                size 6
Foam Crab                                                    size 2-6        Olive

If there was one place where Permit are likely to be seen, this is it. Take plenty of crab patterns in a wide selection of sizes and colors. I pack a few colored markers to modify my tan crab flies to match the bottom. Kind of a saltwater match the hatch.
  
As with all Caribbean destinations be ready for Tarpon and other piscado with a selection of baitfish patterns. Lefty’s Deceiver is hard to beat.
