Omar's Freelance Fishing

Omar's Freelance Fishing We specialize in Fly Fishing services (catch and release only) We guarantee a great hunt for Permit, The mystical and elusive PERMITis one of our favorite fish!

Welcome to BELIZE,
Home of the Grand Slams and pristine flats! The turquoise waters and majestic flats on Ambergris Caye are protected because they are the home of the Tarpon, Permit and Bonefish. The sandy bottom wade-able flats are located on the western side of the island. Omar's Freelance Fishing is one of the very few guides that begin with teaching you the basics of fly fishing. Our aim is t

o ensure that our clients not only catch fish but to ultimately enjoy their fishing experience and learn about Belize's fragile eco-system. This fish has made Omar’s Freelance Fishing very popular as it is our SPECIALTY! Most anglers come down with a case of “Permit-Fever” and leave wanting more! Rosary Caye is the home of the permit. It is a wade-able sandy bottom flat that homes schools of permits during the week of the new moon! Timing is KEY when it comes to permit fishing!

Omar has been invited as an international expert to Cuba to share his experience and expertise in fly fishing and sustainable fishing practices. The aim is to support sustainable fishing practices in coastal communities while safeguarding fragile coastal ecosystems. Omar will be working with fishers, scientists and conservationists to share the art of fly fishing and discuss livelihood opportunities.

Omar is currently stationed at the Zapata Swamp National Park, a place with renowned fly fishing opportunities, so it's a great place for an exchange of experiences, talent, and a chance to learn together.

This training is part of an ecosystem-based adaptation project, known as Proyecto AbE-C, that is funded by the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund and coordinated by the National Center for Protected Areas (CNAP) along with WCS and EDF.
EDF helped connect Omar to this project, building on a history of work with Cuba and Belize focused on marine and coastal conservation, sustainable fisheries, and local development.
