Favorite Fishing Links
We reviewed
hundred of sites, and have compiled what we believe are the most useful
links for fishermen and women who may be interested in fishing Belizean
waters. We also included reviews of several sites that, while
superficially promising, don't offer much in the way of fishing
information. Additional sites are available on our Fishing Links Page.
Basic Guide to
Saltwater Flyfishing Although the focus of this article is on Southwestern
Florida, its basic information is pertinent to all saltwater flyfishing, regardless of
location.
Jim Flanders, New Hampshire Fishing.
Fishing site for
recommended New Hampshire fishing guide. Jim and his wife, Sandra, are great people
- - and LOVE to fish. They also generally visit Placencia for some non-stop fishing
in February each year - and you can get in touch with Jim or Sandra with any questions you
might have about fishing in Placencia by email at JimFNH@aol.com
Kiene's Fly Shop
Bill Kiene, owner of Kiene's Fly Shop in Sacramento, California, is very familiar
with fishing in the Placencia area. Bill is also very good about helping
visitors to the area get properly outfitted, so you may want to contact him if you'd like
to talk to someone else in the States (besides Jim and Sandra Flanders - see above) who
has fished the area. You can contact Bill by email at
