Fishing is for a variety of game fish species, including Permit, Bonefish, Tarpon & Snook, also Cubera Snapper, Jacks, Barracuda, Grouper & others. This is a very large area with a great variety of fishing conditions, fish species and scenery, thereby making Belize River Lodge primarily known for its variety in fish species & diverse fishing areas.  Due to Central Belize’s diversity, visible “Super Slams – Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit & Snook” occur daily, landed slams depend on anglers and fish.

The main Lodge offers some of the best variety of fishing for your Belizean experience.


BRL’s Long Caye Outpost

fishingBRL’s Outpost at Long Caye sits on the front of the island overlooking Belize’s Barrier Reef and offers spectacular views of the sparking blue-green waters of the Caribbean Sea.  The Outpost caters to anglers and to people who are just looking to get away from it all in a comfortable and relaxing setting.  While called an outpost, BRL’s Outpost is more of a destination, offering three double occupancy bedrooms and a shared bath (hot & cold water) for all guests, thereby catering to groups/families of up to 6 people.  The main building has a full verandah overlooking the beach and sea.   All rooms have ceiling fans and power is from a generator which will run while you are visiting this breathtakingly beautiful island retreat.

Whether you are fishing or touring, both are available from the Outpost.  As with fishing from the main Lodge, BRL’s guides fish long hours AND as the Outpost sits in some of Belize’s best fishing waters, you have a choice of your fishing day, fish early and/or fish late for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Snook and many other species.  If you are relaxing or touring, then BRL’s Outpost is a great choice as it is on the beach.  BRL’s Outpost  caters  to your preference and you can snorkel the Barrier Reef, manatee watch, swim in the warm Caribbean waters or relax on the beach in an astoundingly beautiful setting, being catered to by your Outpost staff.

This is the perfect get-away-from it all vacation for anglers and vacationers!
