After you have attended the academy, you can even try out your skills!  Only 45 minutes from Orlando are the famous fishing waters of the Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River Lagoon.  These fabled Florida flats are home to trophy redfish, seatrout, black drum, tarpon, and more.  It is an exciting experience to hunt these fabulous gamefish, and we can make sure you have the best opportunities possible.

During the summer months we can even set you up offshore or nearshore to try for some real monsters like tarpon, jack crevalle, mackerel, dolphin and more!  This is open ocean fishing, and you never know what surprises it might hold. At the Orlando Fly Fishing Academy, we have a number of top fly fishing guides we can set you up with.  We want you to go with the best, and we get special rates for you on top of that!

The waters east of Orlando have numerous trophy fish, but they are a real challenge to even the most experienced angler, so having the right guide makes a huge difference.  All of our guides meet stringent requirements in experience, customer service, equipment, and fly teaching abilities.

The ideal situation is to attend the Academy, learn the nuances that turn you into an excellent fly fisherman, then try your new skills on some monsters!
