12wt.

Our good friend Straq has been hard at work over at 12wt., a new brand focused on providing technical products for use on the saltwater flats. We're happy to report the 12wt. site is now live and their first two products, the SUNwt. and WORKwt. gloves, are now available for purchase. These gloves are designed for those that pole the skiff and ply the rod in places like Key West, Andros, the Seychelles, Christmas Island or wherever your hands need protection.

El Pescador Seeks Fishing Manager

Let's see if we can clog the El Pescador email server...

Despite a bleak economy inside and outside the angling industry, a fresh fly-fishing job—located in a tropical paradise no less—is there for the taking.

Call it the best job in the angling world if you’d like because the Fishing Manager and Guest Relations position at El Pescador Lodge on Ambergris Key, Belize offers ample opportunity to take in Central America’s most appealing qualities, clandestine or otherwise.

If you prefer sand and year-round sunny skies to the rat race and winter dregs—and you’re privy to the ways of tarpon, permit and bonefish—you have a leg up on the competition for this key senior management position. But don’t think it’s all about the fish; the ideal candidate is a self-motivator, understands people and, above all else, caters to guest satisfaction.

During copious time off you can wander San Pedro and dine on fresh conch fritters at Caliente’s or cut some rug with locals at Jaguar’s Temple Club. When you’ve had your fill of town chase the big three, which often fin within a double-haul of the lodge.

In addition to a great lifestyle, the Fishing Manager receives free meals and a private flat to live in. The position offers unique professional challenges, a competitive salary, paid vacation, and the potential to take unpaid summer leave so you can tap into the northern fly-fishing scene.
