News from Belize River Lodge

Barry & Cathy and the group are having a good week at Belize River Lodge. The group is getting shots at tarpon every day in the 30 to 60 pound range and several have been landed, lots jumped and lost. The big fish, over 60, have been harder to find but are around. Barry had one on for more than an hour when the backing broke. There are bonefish and snook around but the focus has been on the tarpon. Weather is good with lots of sunshine and only an occasional shower. And, no broken rods (so far)! Which is amazing for a week of tarpon fishing.

5 Ways to Up Your Spring Streamer Game

We found this on MidCurrent this week. Most everyone fishes streamers but this article gives us some new ideas on streamer fishing and some new techniques to try. Looks like we will have plenty of water for awhile here in the northeast, so some new tips might come in handy!

The Next Generation

With the best part of the fishing season just a head of us here in the northeast, it's a good time to get young anglers out on the water. Parker Vance, in the photo below, is the perfect example of a young man that anyone would want for a son, grandson, nephew, or boy next door. At 17, he works in his family's auto auction, is a good kid in school, and loves to fly fish. He came to us this spring, as a Christmas gift from his grandmother (has to be a cool gram!) to get better at fly fishing. We have enjoyed his company and will make sure we see him again. If you have a teenage son or daughter, or know of a young person who has a little interest, please take this opportunity to show them more about the sport that we all love.
