Orvis Week at Blue Horizon Lodge
Founded in 1997 by legendary Belizean fly-fishing guide Lincoln Westby, Blue Horizon Fly Fishing operates inside the protected waters of the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, in an area known as “Permit Alley.” Regarded as some the finest permit fishing in the Caribbean, the lodge is an ideal destination for a dedicated fishing adventure. Perched on a seven-acre island, the lodge is minutes away from productive flats. Exceptional customer service with just the right amount of relaxed island attitude, and fantastic opportunities at the elusive “ghost of the flats,” should put Blue Horizon on any permit anglers’ radar.

The main lodge integrates an open-air design, so guests may fully appreciate the beauty of the marine environment. The lodge's unique shutter system allows the lodge to be fully open to the natural world, or to quickly close-up the shutters to protect the interior during inclement weather.
The five guest cabanas, for a maximum capacity for ten anglers, have been completely refurbished and deliver a surprising level of sophistication for such a remote location.
Each room is furnished with two full-size beds and a private bathroom, complete with on-demand hot water showers. Air conditioning is standard in all the rooms, giving our guests the option of enjoying the ocean breeze or a controlled climate. Rod racks, shelving, and hangers will help you organize your gear during your stay. Two of the five guest rooms are stand-alone units, the other three units share a common porch—perfect for parties of six. The large, shared deck offers a convenient gathering space for relaxing and sharing the day’s stories.
Fly to Belize International Airport (BZE) and check into your flight to Placencia. Once you arrive in Placencia, you will be greeted by a lodge representative who will help you gather your luggage and then transfer you to The Placencia Resort, where a boat and captain will be waiting. Blue Horizon Lodge is a quick 20-minute boat ride from The Placencia Resort.
There are two basic schedules at Blue Horizon Lodge. The first routine sees early morning starts, with a mid-day break at the lodge, then back on the water once the tides turn, fishing until dark. During a mid-day high tide cycle, your guide day will start between 6:00AM-7:00AM, and you can expect to be fishing until around 3:00PM before returning to the lodge. The guides work smarter, not harder to put guests on the most fish during the most likely tide that permit will be feeding.
On departure day, breakfast is slightly later in the morning, and we ask that your bags are packed and ready to travel before you arrive to breakfast. The boat transfer to the mainland departs at 6:45AM or 8:30AM, depending on the flight schedules of the departing group.
The South Water Caye Marine Reserve, locally known as Permit Alley, is home to prime "pancake flats" and many schools of permit. The nearby Meso-American Reef is home to many species of fish. From late April through the month of August, anglers can cast their flies at the larger migratory tarpon. These fish can reach up to 150 pounds. Besides the vast experience of a talented guide staff, the next best reason to fish at the Blue Horizon Lodge is the proximity to the most productive permit flats in Belize. It is very common to travel less than 10 minutes from the lodge and be casting to tailing permit. Occasionally, our guides will make longer runs, but only if they are 100% confident they will find un-pressured fishing.
