Orlando, FL, Jan. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For those who love fishing — or want to learn more about the sport — Grande Lakes Orlando features a variety of fishing programs under the direction of Captain Mark Benson, Director of Fly Fishing.
Grande Lakes Orlando ’s Private Waters Guided Fishing Trips offer an exciting angling excursion for Florida strain largemouth bass in one of the resort’s private, 11 stocked and managed lakes and ponds. Guests can choose to fish aboard a Hyde drift boat or explore the resort’s angling options from shore in a specially designed Outfitter’s all-terrain golf cart. No license is required for this exciting catch and release trophy bass fishing adventure. Prices are $70 per hour by boat or $60 per hour by shore.
If perfecting the fly cast is the goal, guests can opt for Fly Casting Instruction with Captain Mark, who introduces the fundamentals and principles of rod loading, line control, and tip path in an easy-to-understand style. Intermediate instruction focuses on double hauling, windy day techniques, fish fighting philosophies, and more, while advanced casters can learn to increase distance, practice specialty casts, and speed casting for moving targets. Private instruction is $75 per hour.
Finally, there is a Four-Hour Fly Fishing Course, which is perfect for anyone wanting to get started with the hobby. Participants enjoy an overview of everything from A-Z in the world of fly fishing and will learn about rods, reels, fly lines, and the basic gear, knot tying, fish identification, habits, biology, and fundamentals of fly casting. The fee is $300 per person and includes lunch.
