Missing the Olympics Already? Time to Fish Belize During an All-Inclusive Stay!

Belize Belize Tips Laru Beya Resort Placencia Peninsula

Has watching the 2026 Winter Olympics games occupied half of your waking time of late? It’s easy to see why—ratings for viewership were impressive, and much of the excitement revolved around the men’s and women’s U.S.A. hockey teams versus the Canadians.

This North American rivalry goes back decades, but recent playoffs got more media and fan attention than usual. U.S.A. goalie Connor Hellebuyck wore what the Axios newsletter described as “iconic noggin protection.” Why did Hellebuyck earn this mention? Because his face mask, featuring a huge largemouth bass, went viral.

When asked about it, he enthused, “I wanted to feature a guy actually fishing and catching a bass, because that’s what I do…and I love it.” It seems his passion for fishing is just as great as his love of hockey, and if you feel the same way about all manner of fishing, consider a getaway to Belize, Central America’s fishing capital.

Play in the water. Stay on land

Belize’s fishing reputation gets plenty of international attention thanks to the nation’s strong conservation laws, variety of fishing locations (reef, flats, ocean, river, and stream opportunities), popular competitions, and opportunities to catch bonefish, permit, tarpon, marlin, sailfish, tuna, grouper, snapper, and more.
