Where
Once again San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, Belize will be the tournament headquarters based in the town’s Central Park. With all of the lodging and guide options Ambergris Caye IS the most fitting location for a tourney of this size.
Why
The Tres Pescados Slam Tournament has several goals to reach to accomplish the purpose of this event. Sustainable sport fishing for the 3 grand slam fish is the number one goal accomplished through example and demonstration in catch-and-release only for these 3 fish using current methods as well as financial support of local and international research and protection. Other goals include furthering the development of saltwater fly fishing while bringing fly fishers from around the world to Ambergris Caye for a unique tournament experience.
Organizer
The Ambergris Caye Fly Fishing Club (ACFFC) is once again the event organizer. Please help support the island’s fly fishing club with your membership that helps produce this and other events. Go to www.ambergrisflyfishing.org to join or go to the Tres Pescados Fly Shop on Barrier Reef Drive and get an ACFFC t-shirt along with your membership.
