Sun. through Tues. brought rain, wind and waves that diminished fishing conditions due to Hurricane Bill off the West Coast of Mexico. Due to Turneffe Flatsâ€™ location, we were able to fish even when conditions were less than favorable. Wed. fishing conditions improved and lasted the rest of the week.

John R.from Pennsylvania was eager to fish hard to tailing bones on the flats. His patience and persistence paid off when John landed a beautiful eight-pound bonefish. He also had several shots at permit during the latter part of the week; however the fish were not willing to take a fly.

Father and son duo Rick and Greg O. from Seattle caught numerous bonefish daily during favorable fishing conditions. The angling team enjoyed father/son time together both on and off the flats.

Jim M. from Seattle and his fishing partner Ed E. from Alabama quenched their thirst for bonefish and decided to go permit fishing. Though they saw plenty of permit and had numerous shots, they could not find any willing takers.

Frank S. and Mike G. found the flats very productive and landed multiple bonefish during the morning and afternoon outings. Frank greatly improved his casting ability with lessons from his guide. His improved skills paid off and he and Mike caught several large bonefish during the week.
