Mango Creek Lodge, Roatan Fly Fishing Vacation

Mango creek lodge fly fishing vacationAt Mango Creek, they pride themselves on offering world class salt water fishing in a gorgeous and secluded environment. While there, you’ll have a chance to cast at bonefish, permit,snook, and tarpon with the backdrop of being surrounding by the mountainous jungle of the island of Roatan.

The lodge itself is only accessible by boat. The remote location helps anglers maximize the amount of time you spent on the water, especially since the flats are as close as 90 seconds by boat. Our fishery sees very little pressure and one of our greatest priorities is making sure it stays that way.

Fly fisherman spend most of their time wading the shallow turtle grass and coral flats. The most exciting way to catch fish on the fly is definitely by spotting and carefully stocking them on foot. Our bonefish here are generally bigger than those of others areas of the Caribbean, and are considered by some to be harder to catch. Satisfaction for a fly fisherman here comes not in enormous numbers of fish caught, but in the enormous size of the fish themselves. Catching fish on the flats requires the furtiveness of a hunter. But when you do hook up, there is no greater thrill than the shriek of your line burning off of your reel.

Mango Creek is a catch and release lodge.

The fishing here is only getting better as we continue to discover new areas on Roatan and on nearby islands. They have also waged a campaign of local environmental education and are making substantial progress in the battle against illegal netting. By cooperating with the local community, they are seeing fish populations increase dramatically, giving fisherman even more opportunities at large schools of fish.

How to get there

Direct flights between the USA and Roatan are currently only available on Saturdays and Sundays from the following 3 airlines:
     - Continental has direct flights between Houston, TX and Roatan on Saturdays. 
     - Delta has direct flights between Atlanta,GA and Roatan on Saturdays.
     - TACA has direct flights between Houston and Roatan on Saturdays, and between Miami and         Roatan on Sundays.
Mid-week flights:
      - TACA, AMERICAN AIRLINES and CONTINENTAL have daily flights to San Pedro Sula, in mainland Honduras. You would then need to take a local airline flight from San Pedro Sula to Roatan.

If you need to make arrangements to travel to other parts of Honduras TropicalREZ are great. They will also make arrangements to come from mainland Honduras to Roatan and back.

Once you land, customs is quick (usually) then it's a 30 -45 min. car ride to the town of Oakridge, a 15 min boat ride to the Lodge and you can be out on the flats within 10 mins of dropping your bags, getting changed, and grabbing a cold one.

If you wish to travel around Honduras while here we recommend using TROPICAL REZ to make all your arrangements.

Mango Creek Lodge cannot compensate for, nor be held responsible for, any problems associated with airline travel.
