WHAT WE LOVE - THIS LODGE, THIS WEEK • Comfortable beachside accommodations with A/C and on-site infinity pool.

• A “home” flat in front of the lodge where guests can chase bonefish and other species near the reef on their own time.

• Opportunities to large migratory tarpon, in addition to the other flats species.

• A variety of fishing scenarios - sand and grass flats, along with reef and mangrove environs, both wading and boat opportunities • Large “spring” tides that can trigger fish movement and feeding.

Turneffe Flats, Belize

A N o t e from Your Host s Dear Friends, Of all the destinations we have visited around the world over the last 12 years, Turneffe Flats Lodge (TFL) stands out as one of our favorites. TFL offers not only great flats fishing for all the species, as well as non-angling activities, but does so from a beautiful location on a remote atoll with superb, comfortable accommodations.

While bonefish and permit are the classic targets at TFL, we have worked closely with the lodge and Frontiers Travel to reserve space this time of year for the added opportunity to sight-fish large, migratory tarpon. With expansive flats for wading or fishing from custom 16foot Dolphin Superskiffs, there really is something for all anglers, from beginners to experts.

Non-anglers can enjoy snorkeling, diving, kayaking, or reading and relaxing at the infinity pool and lounging deck. Or perhaps they can take a Belizean cooking class with one of the cooks in the kitchen, do an introduction to diving course, or enjoy listening to Head Atoll Adventure Guide, Abel Coe, a Kekchi Mayan, explain the history of the Mayan in Belize. On Wednesdays, guests can arrange to visit a Mayan site or the Belize Zoo. This location at this time of year is perfect for ambitious anglers, those looking to relax, and even folks that desire a bit of both. We are thrilled to share this incredible trip with friends old and new. We hope you can join us.

Sincerely,

Nick & Kami Swingle
