I generally use either a 5 wt or 7 wt for a lot of my flats fishing. Two of the largest bones were caught on 5 wt and they gave a workout, but definitely landed them, 26-28 inch fish that I would estimate over 5-7 lbs. The longtime guide I have used numerous times originally told me no one used a 5 wt there, after a day of fishing he said there were a few souls that he guided that used a 5 there, Lefty and Lee were two of them. Ever since the first time, he always insists we bring the 5 along when the wind isn’t too much. I put the rod in his hands one afternoon and after adjusting so as not to overpower the rod he was convinced he needed to get one. When I asked him who had taught him to fly fish, he said Lee and Joan Wullf were his mentors.

I retired too young, and moved to Belize. A very simple, quiet existence back in the jungle. But the fighting makes it worth it. Smallish tarpon are my favorite

“He came right over and ate it. They don’t always do that...” lol. Legend.

There's a reason he's wearing a light blue long sleeve hoodie; to blend in with the light blue sky. Looks like so much fun.

Great show. Also nice to see no sharks waiting for a tired fish.

Love Mark because 1) his face will ALWAYS be sunburned and 2) will find a way to mention "trote'" even when he isn't fishing trout

Amazing footage guys and an amazing destination!
I did a DIY on Long Caye in Belize a decade ago and there I caught my first bonefish on the fly. I have been an addict ever since.
I too reside in Southern Ontario and have actually had the pleasure of crossing paths with you Mark while fishing on the Grand in Fergus.
Please keep vids coming, especially in the salt!
