My Favorite Redfish Fly
I'm often asked "What Redfish flies should I tie for our trip to Hilton Head Island?  There are many that work well.  The key to a great all-around redfish fly around Hilton Head Island, Beaufort and Savannah are ones that have a certain amount of weight, profile, color, weed-guards and size for the season.  Let's look at some of the attributes in a Hilton Head Island redfish fly that work really well.

"I love to spend my birthday in the Low Country...spending quality time with family over Christmas, but also getting   some time on the water. I called my friend and guide, Capt Mark Nutting to see if we could do some sight fishing and to target the awesome redfish...

It was a spectacular morning as we put in at the landing...the sun was just rising above the east horizon, a beautiful vermillion sky, light and gentle breeze flowing in from the sound.. hour and a half before dead low tide....perfect!

We cruised past this large floating dock  owned by one of my longtime high school friends whose family for several generations had hunted and fished along the South Carolina  barrier islands.

Mark turned the boat into the channel flowing out of a large expanse of oyster shoals where the tidal creeks and marsh emptied at the bottom of the tide...he cut the motor, grabbed his pole and climbed up on his platform. I grabbed my 10 weight fly rod and tied on one of Mark's "Mumba" baitfish patterns...stood up on the bow and stripped off about 40ft of line.

Mark stealthily pushed us east on the flats, the sun shimmering on the water ahead...he spotted a small school of reds at 1 O'Clock moving toward us and whispered for me to start casting in front of them...made one false cast and shot the line to about 4 feet in front of the reds. Mark began his cadence...."strip...strip...strip...strip...HIT 'em! I strip set the hook deep into the red's jaw as he took off for deeper water. My adrenaline was pumping as I let the red take line which was "rooster tailing" away...I turned up about 5 lbs of drag on the reel and began to apply rod pressure to gain back line.

What a thrill! I had caught plenty of spot tails in my youth with spinning gear, but never have had a more stimulating challenge than  flyfishing with Mark. Caught 6, with a couple of early releases...best birthday ever....thx, Mark!"
