Orvis Fly Fishing School at Sunset Key Guest Cottages, A Westin Resort

Sunset Key Guest Cottages There’s something about Key West. Maybe it’s the fact that you can drive to the tropics… in the Continental U.S. (bless railroad tycoon Henry Flagler and his crazy idea to connect the keys to the mainland by bridge). A little zany, chock full of bars, and equally as many colorful characters: Key West is not just a beach bum’s paradise. Anglers also find nirvana in the waters off the Florida Keys, the sport fishing capital of the world. Little wonder that the exclusive Orvis Fly Fishing School has set up shop here. Learn how to fly fish for bonefish and tarpon on the Key West waterfront. Located right at the Westin Key West Resort & Marina, the school covers everything from fly casting, choosing the correct tackle, knots and fly selection, to fish fighting techniques and how to safely release fish. After class, watch the sun set on the pier then do the famous Duval Street pub crawl. Stay in luxury at the Sunset Key Guest Cottages, A Westin Resort– nestled on secluded Sunset Key directly across from the Key West waterfront– and experience your own private island paradise while also getting a 10 percent discount to the Orvis Fly Fishing School. Book now for stays January 2- April 25, 2010.
