I'm hoping to go to Belize this spring, and I'm fairly certain I'll be staying at the Belize River Lodge, so I'm glad to hear a recommendation for them. I know they are involved with BTU, so it'll be great to see what they've got there.
JD - nothing wrong with bait, in my opinion. I learned to bait a hook when I was four, I didn't start with flies until much later, so I have a soft spot for the real deal. I do love the skill involved in fishing with flies, though. The drawback, of course, is the skill - I don't fish often enough and so that skill has to be re-learned from time to time. I know the solution though - Fish more!!
