Because the Underground is all about making the pitiful lives of my readers better pretty much every day, I’m posting a job listing that should perk up those half-closed eyelids.

How’d you like to live on a bonefish flat in Belize surrounded by hot fly fishing babes in bikinis?

We thought so. From Greg Thomas of Fly Rod & Reel:

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.

While the Undergrounders didn’t score the last two Ultimate Jobs we posted, we’re still hoping one of you slobs ambitious types hammers this one – and is so grateful to us for bringing it your attention – that we’ll score a free week in bonefish heaven.

It’s just a suggestion. Don’t feel indebted or anything. It’s just another free service.

See you in Belize, Tom Chandler
