At Belize Fly Zone, we take our staff of guides very seriously. After all, without quality, English speaking guides, our clients would not be satisfied with their experience in Belize. Customer satisfaction is our #1 priority at BFZ, so we constantly ask our customers about their experience to ensure that our guides are providing the best service on the island. Our master guide is the legendary Omar Arceo. We are proud to have him on our staff for many reasons. Omar has guided over 12 years on the island as is considered to have more knowledge of the flats than anyone. Prior to professional guiding, Omar was a commercial fisherman in our local offshore waters. Proper training and experience is the only way to be a successful guide, and we have the best of both worlds with Omar. During his time off, he can be spotted fly fishing the waters of Belize and Ambergris Caye.
Our family of guides
Over the past 5 seasons, Omar has trained and mentored our staff of professional guides to the point that they are truly world class fisherman. Customer relationships is also a priority with Omar, and he has stressed the importance of this to all of his “students”. Each of our guides has a distinct specialty that they have developed over the years. Some of them are as simple as knot and leader construction, and some are as complex as current and tide effect on certain flats. Recently, one of our guides has found a particular area that always produces Tarpon on an early morning outgoing tide. On his days off, he spent so much time on this flat that he observed this pattern for weeks. Now, when clients who seek tarpon are looking for our best guide, we know who to turn to. It is important when booking your trip to share with us what you specifically want to fish for so we can pair you with the best possible guide partners.
