Our destination is beautiful Belize for the ultimate challenge on a fly rod – Permit!  With celebrated guide, Wil Flack, owner of the Belize Permit Club.  Belize is a top destination for Permit with over 250 square miles of flats and the world’s second-largest barrier reef.  

A British Columbia native, Wil’s has fished all over the world and has been living and guiding in Belize for the past 15 years.  He gives us a great rundown on Belize from top to bottom and explains why it’s a special kind of angler who dares to chase the ghost of flats fishing.  Also, technical aspects of Permit fishing, Will’s top fly picks, and a great story of jungle rats and Payara in Venezuela. 

With host, Steve Haigh
