Dr. Bill Enjoying the Flats in Belize with Guide Hilian Martinez


Dr. Bill Young is enjoying the flats fly fishing in Belize. Today was a bit challenging because of wind and the post cold front day that it was. Nevertheless, casting to a tarpon that ate Bill's fly but did not stick; hunting for the elusive permit, aka black tail devil; and catching double digit numbers of bonefish makes for an excellent day for my friend. I keep looking at the beautiful turquoise 83 degree F water and want to head to the airport and get there myself. Soon.

My friend Hilian Martinez has spent two days guiding Dr. Bill. Hilian knows where to look for all flats species around Ambergris Caye. Today they were turned around by windy conditions as they headed for an island out in the open ocean. The guys were persuing permit and they had to settle for the lee side of Ambergis Caye. Still an excellent place to hunt! The guys also saw some 20 pound jacks that were not sticking around to play.

If you have the right mind set, any conditions can still lead to an excellent day. I would have gladly taken this day!
