Neftali Verde (Tayo)

Member since July 2023 San Pedro, Belize
Background
I was born and raised in a coastal village in Belize. The miles of flats, mangroves, lagoons, and channels inspired me to become a professional sport fishing guide and help to train more guides, for the future generation. Now I'm sharing my 21 years of experience and skills together with my team, so our anglers can make their dreams come true!
Techniques
Flats fishing is what I love could be with fly rod or spinning rod. With flies, artificial plugs or bait.
