The BEST Permit Fishing in Belize : Cayo Rosario

Ambergris Caye is renowned for it's enduring legacy as an unparalleled shallow water sport fishing destination, but when it comes to the best permit fishing in Belize - there is no where else which can surpass Cayo Rosario. This extraordinary island, due west of Ambergris Caye and inside the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, is surrounded by endless azure flats which are teaming with permit. These voracious and powerful sport fish prowl the sandbars and shoals surrounding Rosario in schools upwards of 50 strong. There is simply no thrill in flats fishing more fantastic than sight casting to patrolling permit, particularly those who consume both fly or crab with vigor and enthusiasm. Anglers from all over the world make the pilgrimage to Rosario in search of landing their first permit, or maybe their 100th, but the allure of fishing in such a remote destination remains ineffable, no matter how much experience you may have.
There is simply no one else more well versed in the secrets of catching permit in the waters around Cayo Rosario than Darrel Smith - who is most notably referred to (and rightfully so) as "The Permit King of Belize". That title hardly does the man justice. Darrel is an unwavering, infallible, and genuinely exceptional fishing guide who understands the nuances of permit fishing in Belize more than anyone on the planet. His only rival in that regard (and #1 customer) is Ken Watkins, who has caught and released more than 800 permit (mostly on fly) in Belize - an unofficial record that will never be surpassed. Together - Ken and Darrel have spent more time fishing Cayo Rosario than anyone on planet earth.
If this Permit Fishing Eden sounds too good to be true - it is. Cayo Rosario is being illegally developed and the fishery it supports could soon be ruined. What makes it worse - the government of Belize is simply turning a blind eye to this blatant and excruciating destruction of a pristine natural resource within the Hol Chan Marine Reserve! The fight to save Cayo Rosario, and to preserve the majesty of this uncanny permit fishing destination, is ongoing - and you CAN make a difference.
