Charlie Leslie Fly Fishing

Just listed

Welcome to Charlie Leslie Fly Fishing, a legacy spanning three generations of expert guides. Our story is rooted in the passion and dedication of Charlie Leslie Sr., Marlon Leslie, and Charles Leslie Jr., each contributing their unique style to the art of fly fishing.

The family’s introduction to saltwater fly fishing came from none other than Lefty Kreh. In the early days before Belize was a go to saltwater fly destination, Lefty arrived on a scouting trip and left a fly rod behind in the hands of Charlie Leslie Sr.

“That’s when Lefty said, this is a gift to you guys. But you better learn how to use it, because this is going to be the next big thing that will take off. And the quicker you guys get into this, the better it will be.”

In later years, Mel Krieger came down and imparted some casting lessons on Charlie Leslie Sr, which he was then able to pass on to the upcoming guides. This film tells the story of how small acts by the fly fishing luminaries of 50 years ago went on to influence the trajectory of one country’s relationship to its fishery and one family’s history on these coveted flats.
