Choose Fly Fishing Key West

By Rachael Gutierrez


The Florida Keys are a hot-spot for holiday goers, sun worshipers and beach bums. Insulated from the concrete jungles of Florida cities by warm, clear, inviting waters, the 1700 islands form a beautiful haven which generates good feelings and relaxed vibes for all who visit. Of all the ways to spend your time here, fly fishing Key West (established as a fishing village as early as 1521) has garnered the reputation as one of the best options for any fly fishing enthusiast.

Florida has one of the strongest and most consistent records when it comes to weather. Heated and dry throughout the year, only the sporadic heavy downpour and irregular hurricanes get in the way of almost year-round prime angling conditions. It is always wise to check the weather report before embarking on a trip in this region.

When you come to this area you will be astounded at the incomprehensible wealth of marine life inhabiting every part of the surrounding seas. This is perfect for fishing. Take time to pursue a permit, be sure to befriend a bone-fish and seize a series of sharks including black tip, bull and tiger. The mixture of animals on offer will amaze you.

Despite the towns and cities warmly welcoming and attracting huge amounts of tourists and winter-refugees each year, the same cannot always be said for the waters. But this does not stop most fishermen from taking to the seas. If in doubt, there is an army of enthused and willing sea captains just waiting to advise, direct and guide all manner of participants, regardless of experience and ability.

It is essential to locate someone who knows the seas in this area as the best hunting grounds can be challenging to both locate and to fish. However, having an expert aboard will serve you well as the hardest places to reach will also be the quietest and provide the most rewarding experience.

The popularity of this area with aquatic adventurers has led to the formation of uncountable companies offering all manner of trips. For those who prefer an intimate, personal atmosphere there are private coaching lessons on offer. Conversely, for those who belong to a merry band of sea-savvy searchers, boats can be hired to embark with a full party aboard. Negotiate a price you like and take your time when choosing.

Chasing fish is not the only way to fill your time in this sun-seeped part of the world. There is a veritable variety of options for all levels of sea-set thrill seekers. No matter what depth you wish to descend to, the multitude of centers offering kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving will be enough to keep you busy while your friends are off satisfying their fish-fetish.

With Key West offering so much to do it is often the case that people forget to pay attention to all that there is to see. The scenery here is celebrated as some of the most attractive and beautiful in the world so bring a camera. Be sure to take time out during your trip to soak up the sights and you will leave feeling relaxed, revived and refreshed with fly fishing Key West.
