Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend and is enjoying the first couple days of December! Here in Charleston, SC we had beautiful weather over the holiday weekend and even with a cold spell here today it is still very nice outside. We have started to see the Redfish turn more into winter feeding habits and are beginning to school up in larger groups. This is one of the best times of year for fly fishing in Charleston SC. The cooler water temperatures bring along much cleaner/clearer water which allows our fly fishing guides at FishWater Outfitters to sight fish for Redfish.

For the remainder of winter and into the beginning of Spring, FishWater Outfitters will mostly be targeting Redfish around the low tide. We are mostly finding redfish a couple hours before the low tide and then for a couple more hours as the tide starts coming back in. The low tide fly fishing for redfish is typically the best time to target Redfish as the fish are much easier to see and cast a fly to. During our Folly Beach fishing charters we have been having good success fly fishing Kiawah Island area, especially in the Kiawah River. Poling a Hell’s Bay Boatworks skiff around all those oyster beds and seeing Redfish pushing wakes and making muds is really fun. Our fly fishing guides in Charleston SC have also been spending a lot of time in and near the Folly River near Folly Beach. This is a massive area with many different creeks and sounds full or oyster mounds. Our main type of flies used for fly fishing Folly Beach recently have been shrimp and small baitfish imitations. The Redfish are starting to form their larger schools as the air and water temperatures get a bit cooler in the coming weeks. The Winter fly fishing charleston sc can be fantastic as the water temperatures cool down and the redfish form large schools, mostly to protect themselves from Dolphins. This provides a great sight and opportunity for fly fishing. Its such a sight to see 50-200 redfish pushing a wake down the bank of a river, coming straight towards the boat!
