I’m headed for Ambergris Caye later this year - what tippet should I have with me on the flats? Targeting Bones, Baby Tarpon, Permit (hopefully), and whatever smaller reef fish are hungry - I have zero experience but high hopes in this arena

Ah lovely! Im going next spring. Ill share what I pick up in my research. What dates are you going? Will you be doing DIY? Thanks for starting a thread!

For now: I am taking 7wt, 8wt, and 10wt. Still need to buy line for the 8wt, I have SA Amplitude Smooth Bonefish plus on the 7, and Cortland crystal clear tarpon for the 10wt.

Very interested to hear in regard tippet sizes.

Also, from what Ive researched the bonefish are a tad smaller, so smaller flies in 6-8 should suffice.

A website I have used and there is quite a bit on youtube as well -
