Meet Julie Leslie : Belize’s First Female Fly Fishing Guide.
In a profession traditionally dominated by men, Julie Leslie broke barriers and made history as Belize’s first female fly fishing guide.
Raised in the legendary Leslie fly fishing family, she learned the flats, tides, and the art of guiding under the mentorship of her father, Charlie Leslie Sr. Her passion, determination, and knowledge helped open the door for future generations of women in Belize’s sportfishing industry.
Today, we’re proud to celebrate not only her accomplishments but also the legacy she continues to represent.
A true pioneer. A proud Belizean. A Leslie.
