Item Description
Sandy Moret's Florida Keys Fly Fishing School
The Florida Keys Fly Fishing School has helped thousands of men and women both newcomers and seasoned veterans to become better anglers. Now in our 26th year offering world class fly fishing instruction in a fun and no pressure environment, we’re proud to have developed the longest running and most proficient saltwater fly fishing school available.
You’ll learn every aspect of saltwater fly fishing. During classroom sessions, we’ll cover tackle, including rod and reel technology, fly line selection and essential knots. You’ll master the double-haul, learn effective false casting, line management, and how to make short quick casts. Without a doubt, the school’s greatest asset are the instructors, all of whom are recognized the world over as true authorities. You won’t find a more experienced and passionate group willing to share from their personal experiences.
School sessions include two full 9-5 days of classroom coursework interspersed with one on one casting sessions with the instructors and a relaxing lunch break on the school’s Islander Resort campus. We keep it simple and light with casting, field exercises, slide presentations and classroom explanation. Tuition includes evening receptions with the instructors, lunches on school days, curriculum guide, all instruction, classroom work, and the use of our equipment and training aids for casting.
You will leave the school with the skills, knowledge and confidence that would take months or even years of trial and error to overcome.
