Fly Fishing Instruction
Three Fly Fishing Instruction Options!
South Carolina’s premiere source for fly fishing instruction. For over 27 years our guides have been Orvis endorsed and eager to help you learn. We pride ourselves in not only teaching you to fly fish but to have a great time doing so. Please review the classes below and feel free to give us a call, 843-524-5250, if you have any questions.
The Redfish School
The one-day Redfish School exposes students to fly casting, equipment, knots, fly selection, and targeting redfish in the Lowcountry. This class is for the beginner to intermediate fly caster who wishes to build a strong foundation. Private Schools can be arranged for 4 or more students. The cost of the school is $250 and includes lunch.
The Orvis School
The Orvis Lowcountry Saltwater Fishing School is hosted by Bay Street Outfitters and Anchorage 1770 Inn on historic grounds overlooking the Beaufort River in Beaufort, South Carolina. These pristine flats are home to abundant redfish and make a perfect setting to experience flats fishing from the bow of a flats boat.
This three-day Lowcountry Saltwater Fishing School adventure begins with instruction by Capt. Tuck Scott, an Orvis-endorsed guide. Expect to learn fly-casting techniques, tackle and fly selection, knots, hook setting, and fish fighting techniques. Learning the double haul will improve your casting skills for many future trips.
Day two and three will be spent on a flats boat (two anglers per skiff) fishing with an experienced Bay Street Outfitters captain in the backcountry of Port Royal Sound. Depending on the time of year and conditions, these trips focus on targeting redfish, searout, and cobia.
Tuition includes comprehensive instruction, guided fishing for two days, use of premium Orvis tackle, and lunches.

I recently completed day trips with both Capt. Tuck Scott and Shannon O’Quinn. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable about the fishery, put me on fish even in less than ideal circumstances, and had patience with a novice fly angler. Both guides and the shop were very accommodating/communicative and professional. I’d recommend both guides and outfit without hesitation.
We booked 2 half-day guided trips with light tackle through Bay Street Outfitters. Our guides were Captains Tuck Scott and Shannon O’Quinn. Both were knowledgeable, professional and personable. More importantly they knew the waters and where to find redfish. Although we’ve experienced many guided redfish charters over the years, we still consider ourselves novices. These two guides really went out of their way to share their knowledge about the fish, techniques, reading the water and historical information about the area. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely request these guides again on our next trip to Beaufort. Gary and Connie K. Sunset Beach, NC.
