Having extensively traveled and fly fished the world, we are the industry’s foremost authority on destination-specific equipment, gear, and flies. Over a week of fishing Chetumal Bay, anglers can expect shots at bonefish, permit, tarpon, and snook, depending on the time of year. If you are fishing for less than five days, we recommend a bare minimum of twenty-four flies or a more adequate selection of thirty six flies.

  • How Many Flies? An additional half dozen flies for snook, barracuda, and jacks are ideal for being fully prepared.
  • Sizes and Colors? To specifically target snook, unweighted baitfish patterns in white and combinations of white in size 2 are recommended. Chartreuse needlefish patterns in 2/0 and large poppers for barracuda and jacks, respectively. 
  • Important Notes: Tarpon flies can be utilized in a pinch for snook, jacks, and barracuda, though flies designed specifically for them are better.
