Saltwater Season Primer 2025
Dylan Rose February 17, 2025
Saltwater fly fishing is pure adrenaline. Crystal-clear flats, screaming drags, and the ultimate battle between anglers and the ocean’s wildest inhabitants can become an addictive pursuit. Starting in the southern Yucatan Peninsula, Belize offers world-class opportunities for permit fishing, paired with expert guides who know these waters intimately. Further north, the region boasts some of the finest family and couple-friendly lodges, blending a Caribbean beach escape with an unforgettable fishing experience. From Xcalak to Espiritu Santo and Ascension Bay, anglers have some of the best chances at a coveted grand slam (landing bonefish, tarpon, and permit in a single day). Meanwhile, the northern Yucatan delivers some of the most consistent juvenile tarpon fishing anywhere, while the Bahamas remains the undisputed bonefish capital of the world.
Spring marks the busiest season on the saltwater flats. After a long winter, dedicated anglers eagerly anticipate the warmer temperatures and dry-season conditions of the Caribbean. From March through May, fly fishers flock to the region for prime opportunities to target bonefish, tarpon, and permit. With typically clear, calm waters and steady winds, the flats become an ideal playground for sight-fishing. Don't miss our remaining below openings during this appealing time to be on the flats. Whether patrolling the pristine sand and marl flats of the Bahamas, casting from a skiff in Belize’s expansive lagoons, or enticing aggressive tarpon with surface poppers as summer approaches, the saltwater season is here—now is the time to plan your next adventure.
