Although we are still in the middle of winter here in Charleston, SC the fly fishing continues to be good, when the weather also cooperates! Our Redfish are still in large schools trying to protect themselves from the hungry Bottlenose Dolphin. This provides some of the best fly fishing Charleston, SC has to offer.

FishWater Outfitters is also still mostly targeting these redfish around the low tide. This allows our fly fishing guides to sight fish for redfish in very shallow water and in some instances the redfish will have their backs out of the water. During the winter months we are typically casting small baitfish patterns while fly fishing Charleston, SC. There isn’t very much bait in the marsh this time of year so a small baitfish pattern in black/purple, white, olive/white usually works the best. I tie and fish with a lot of clouser minnows and EP baitfish patterns during the winter.
