How to pick a Hilton Head Fly Fishing Guide.

How to pick a Hilton Head Fly Fishing Guide
     Hilton Head is ever increasing the amount of guides.  Here at Locoflycharters we don't need to

talk bad about any guides. No digs. With over twenty-five years of saltwater fly fishing experience

and guiding in three different countries, we have been in the game long enough.  Besides, You

have to be "behind" someone to talk behind their back. We don't need to.  The best way I can

help you pick a Hilton Head Fly Fishing guide is to look at their websites and ask yourself.  Which

Hilton Head guide's pictures and experiences do you want to be a part of? How does theirfishing

reports
look year round? Is it on fly? or bait? offshore away from the flats?

     A high quality flats boat, although not a direct correlation, is a good indicator that a guide

takes his flats job seriously and uses the right tool for the job.  It's just another indication he's in it

for the long haul and not part-time.  Google ranking, unfortunately, is not structured based on

ability or quality of trips. I'm sure there are many fine guides on that first page, but one is not a

reflection of the other.  As we move up those rankings I hope people choose to fish with us not

because we were the first website they found, but rather, on other qualities; like word of mouth

from one of our clients, etc.  Many of the guides I have always looked up to and aspire to be like

(i.e. Steve Huff and Rob Fordyce) don't even own a website.  I hope one day I can take mine

down.
      
     We are proud to say, as one of the only full time Hilton Head Fly Fishing guides, we are always

blazing our own trails and running that ragged edge.  Every trip is unique with plenty of shots at

huge fish in shallow water. Check out our Gallery or Testimonials to catch a glimpse.

Fly Vines gear review for fly fishing Hilton Head
     I am not a big fan of the sunglass retainers that are made of cotton because they soak in sweat and dirt.  Maybe if I only fished in cold weather I might be more inclined to wear this type of lanyard. I am a fly fishing guide in the Hilton Head, South Carolina area and spending a ton of time in the heat makes them get nasty quickly. I wash them all the time and they fall apart quickly for me.  I have been using heavy mono and fly line for a long time and tie nail knots on unto each leg of the sunglasses.  This does do the trick, and have seen many other ways to do this including drilling a hole. Not that long ago I found this company that has a pretty cool idea and environmentally friendly.
Disclaimer:  "I am not endorsed or affiliated with this company in any way."
 I have seen them around for awhile now and thought they had a great idea.
  When I stopped in the Rivers&Glen fly shop in Savannah the other day I had a chance to pick up a couple pairs.  Fly Vines is a company that makes retainers for sunglasses.  They recycle old fly lines and weave the lines together to form the eyewear retainers.  Not only do they look great and not soak up sweat but the recycling aspect is always an appeal seeing I do prefer greener products.  After putting them on my sunglasses I pulled hard and they did release from the sunglasses, but did not break the integrity of lanyard.  I am excited to be rocking these green products this summer and will keep you posted if there are any changes to my recommendations.
