For fly fishing Key West is a great destination. Anglers from around the country come to enjoy the tropical waters and the wonderful weather in this region. It is one of the world's premier destinations for saltwater fly fishing. Anglers can tackle a wide variety of saltwater fish in a range of sizes. The city has many places that provide comfortable lodging, ranging from budget motels to luxury resorts.

There are several locations for launching a boat and exploring the pristine waters off of the keys. Anglers can venture out with experienced guides on a chartered boat. Many of the guides in the area will know where the top fishing action is and what types of fish are most active. Shallow water boats like "flats skiffs" are increasingly popular for anglers seeking trophy catches along the coastline. The guides can assist anglers in locating and landing large fish.

The weather is usually pleasant in the Keys. Daytime highs seldom exceed 95 even in the middle of the summer and temperatures never dip below freezing even in the middle of January. This is Florida's driest city even though it is tropical and along the coast. The city averages 39 inches of annual rainfall, with the wettest months being in the summer and early fall. The winter is the driest season.

Popular game fish that inhabit the area include blackfin tuna, barrcuda, jacks and tarpon. Fly fishing for tarpon is especially adventurous. A large tarpon on a fly line can be a sight to behold. Make sure to bring your camera to capture the footage as you or one of your fishing crew reel in one of these monsters of the sea.

Key West Tarpons have a reputation for being incredibly fighters on the end of a line. With lightweight fly tackle that challenge is only enhanced. A large specimen can easily fight on the end of the line for an hour or longer. These are hardy fish so even after that long struggle they still survive catch and release very well and can be returned to the water to fight again another day.

Some fishermen also seek bull sharks and other large species of fish, but these creatures require heavy tackle and are not sought by fly fisherman. In addition to enjoying the game fish of the region, anglers can marvel at porpoises swimming in the warm waters and watch for herons, egrets and spoonbills along the shorelines. The bird life and marine life in the area only enhances the adventure.

Accommodations in Key West vary in price and luxury, but most visitors can find something that fits their lifestyle and budget. The resort town is about a three hour drive from Miami airport, for those flying in from out of state. Reservations for lodging should be made early, because many hotels will fill up quickly during peak tourism season.

For fly fishing Key West is an unbeatable location. Pleasant year-round weather and eager fish, make it a tropical paradise for anglers of all ages. Taking a boat out into the gentle breezes of the Gulf waters can be a truly unforgettable experience for visitors to this remarkable area.
