A red fish landed on the fly in Beaufort, SC.

Sight fishing red fish in Beaufort, SC on the fly.

Sight fishing for red fish on the fly is a thrilling and rewarding experience. It combines spotting the fish and observing them in their natural Lowcountry habitat with the skill of presenting a fly in a manner that entices them to strike. Tailing redfish feed on the marsh bottom in very shallow water with their tails exposed above the waters surface. Our flats skiff is specifically designed to silently approach these fish in just inches of water.
