Depending on where you are in Orlando, you'll be approximately 45 minutes to an hour from the coast. Titusville, is due east of Orlando. There are a number of parks in Titusville that will afford you an opportunity to wade fish in the Indian River.

Since you've never fished the area, I highly recommend a guide. Fishing the No Motor Zone is an all day trip with a guide. Capt. John Kumiski is one of the best guides in the area (www.spottedtail.com). He will put you on bull reds within sight of the space shuttle's launch pad. A surreal experience.

Black or fox tail clousers work well in the Lagoon.

You can't swing a dead cat in Orlando without hitting a pond. Bring some bass flies with you and work the ponds around your hotel in the evenings.
