Belize River Lodge (BRL), one of the top flats fishing lodges in the Caribbean, has renewed its support of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT) as a Silver Partner.
“Since 2007, Belize River Lodge has been a long-term supporter of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust,” said Marguerite Miles, co-owner of BRL. “Our management, staff and guides appreciate BTT’s research on species and habitat, and information on better sport fishing practices. We are looking forward to the future study of juvenile tarpon habitat and any other future studies that will help Belize’s sports fishing fishery.”
The legendary Belize River Lodge is situated near the mouth of the Belize Olde River, the entrance into the Caribbean Sea and classic flats fishing, and also features private cottages. A historic destination, BRL has been in continuous operation since 1960. It was the first fishing lodge built in Belize and originally known as Barothy’s Caribbean Lodge Ltd; then Keller Caribbean Sports Ltd (KCS); and since January of 1987, Belize River Lodge.
BRL offers some of the very best saltwater fishing in all of the Caribbean. Conveniently located, BRL is just a short boat ride away from vast, pristine flats. Sight fishing is the lodge’s specialty, and variety the main attraction. Bonefish, tarpon, permit and snook are the primary species caught by fly-fishing and spin casting anglers in pursuit of the Grand Slam.
The lodge also offers customized eco-tours for non-anglers seeking a tropical vacation or the angler wanting to see more of what Belize has to offer. BRL invites guests to relax and delight in its Belizean hospitality and enjoy a delicious combination of fine Belizean-Creole cuisine.
“We greatly appreciate Belize River Lodge’s longstanding support of our mission,” said Jim McDuffie, President and CEO of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust. “Together, we have advanced the conservation of Belize’s Grand Slam species and the vital habitats that support them. BTT will continue to work closely with BRL to help ensure a healthy and vibrant future for the nation’s flats fishery.”
