Fishing places
Caribbean and Central America
Flats, reef and blue water within a short run of each other, and the home of most of what saltwater fly fishing was invented for.
Being listed here is not permission to fish.
Access, fishing rights, seasons, licences, local bylaws and permitted methods vary and can change. Check the current rules and permission for the specific water before fishing. FishingHQ describes what the ground is and names who holds the answer; it does not hold the answer itself, and it does not tell you where to go and catch a fish.

Regions and destinations
Each of these is a full guide: what fishing there is like, what dominates, the water available, how the rules are structured and who administers them.
- CaribbeanWarm, clear, reef-dominated water divided among dozens of jurisdictions, where the economics of a live fish caught repeatedly have reshaped the fishery.
- CubaThe largest island in the Caribbean, with a thousand kilometres of offshore cays, and a flats fishery whose condition is largely a consequence of forty years of restricted access.
- The Yucatán and Mexican Caribbean coastA flat limestone shelf with no rivers on it, a barrier reef along its edge, and shallow lagoons behind — which together produce one of the few places on earth where a bonefish, a tarpon, a permit and a snook can be caught in one day.
