On fair weather days you will be polled across sea grass covered shallow flats where tailing permit are the norm.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Hovering above the Rio Grande River and just a short boat or jeep ride from the Caribbean Sea, Copal Tree Lodge is a fly fisher’s paradise. Cast for tarpon and snook on the rivers and in the mangroves, spend the day fishing the flats for permit—or head out to the white sand beaches of the Sapodilla Cayes for bonefish. The majority of our fishing takes place in protected marine reserves and national parks.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Southern Belize is best known as a world-renowned permit territory, and while most anglers who visit the region are intermediate to advanced, their experts are also happy to guide beginners for a one-of-a-kind fly fishing experience. Copal Tree Lodge’s guides are all local to the Southern Belize region and will customize each day’s itinerary to your fishing preference and style; they’re extremely patient, professional, and understand that this is your trip.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Most anglers visit the lodge for the world-class permit fishing; however, the area around Copal Tree Lodge is also one of few destinations with large numbers of bonefish, tarpon and permit.</span>
