When most anglers think about saltwater fly fishing in the Southeast, Florida is usually the first destination that comes to mind. The Florida Keys, Everglades, and Gulf Coast have earned their reputations as world-class fisheries, offering opportunities to target everything from bonefish and permit to tarpon, snook, and redfish.
Learn why the Fall months of October and November are the best for redfish in Charleston.
If you’re staying on Kiawah, Seabrook, Folly or elsewhere around the southern side of Charleston, you don’t necessarily need to drive into downtown Charleston to experience the fishery.
New to saltwater fly fishing? This blog lays out the basics of a day of sight fishing on my flats skiff. Everything from casting, length of day, what to bring and the hunt for redfish.
If you've never gone fly fishing before, the gear side of it can feel overwhelming fast. Rods, reels, leaders, tippet, flies, and then someone mentions fly line and you realize that's its own rabbit hole too. Here's the short version: in fly fishing, the line itself has weight. That weight is what carries the fly forward during a cast, unlike conventional fishing where the lure or sinker does that work. Picking the right fly line for the conditions you're fishing makes a real difference in how accurately and quietly your fly lands in front of a fish.
There's a moment every fly angler in Charleston knows. You've spotted the redfish. The tide is right. The cast is loaded. Then the leader folds, the fly piles up short, and the fish is gone before it ever knew you were there. Bad leader setup kills more redfish opportunities than bad casting. That's just the truth.
