For serious anglers, Edlin is your guide for fishing in Placencia - I’m just back from another fishing tour with Edlin Leslie, owner/captain of Placencia Fishing Charters. Over the years, I’ve gone on fishing tours in various places in the Caribbean. As a serious angler, Edlin is my guide for fishing in Placencia, and Placencia is where I go for fishing. I did 5 tours with Edlin including inside reef, outside reef, deep sea and some fly-fishing on the flats. Edlin asks what types of fish I want to go for, I would tell him but defer each day I let him make the decisions. And no regrets - I got some good fighters and always came home with a great catch. Moreover, my wife and I enjoyed the freshest grilled fish each evening. What an experience! Already booked for next year - can’t wait to go back!

Honest! - We were canceled because of the weather but received an immediate refund, so I gave them 5 stars for integrity and good business practice!

Your Guide for People Serious About Fishing in Belize - Edlin is the guide for serious fishermen. I've gone fishing with various guides for many years who promise this and that. Edlin is the real deal. I went out on 3 tours with him. He knows how to find fish on the reef like finding needles in the haystack. We caught all kinds - snappers, groupers, mackerel and barracudas. He also knows when to call it when the tides goes out. He shares the passion for fishing and knows what it means to have a great day fishing. I booked him again for next few years. Book him if you love fishing too. You will not be disappointed.

Unreliable - I would recommend against booking this company for flyfishing (and possibly other tours). We set up a full day fly fishing trip with them close to a month in advance of our arrival in Placencia. This was a big part of our trip and we were willing to pay top dollar for the trip. On the morning of the trip we were prepared to be picked up at 7:30 am for our trip and were informed at 7 am that they didn’t think the weather was good enough to go out. Disappointing, but understandable. That day the weather ended up being beautiful (still disappointing but understandable). That night the hotel informed me that the company had a lot of success catching fish with other fly fishing clients today and that they’d like to take me the next day (whoops, they shouldn’t have told me that). So, they obviously overbooked trips and blamed it on the weather. If you are looking for reliable fly fishing guides, look elsewhere.
