Okatie, South Carolina Fly-Fishing School

The Orvis South Carolina Fly-Fishing School is held at Oldfield Golf Club in Okatie in the heart of the Lowcountry. Nestled on the banks of the Okatie River, Oldfield Club is a private club community that features Lowcountry living at its best. Located halfway between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA, convenient to I-95 and the Hilton Head/Savannah International Airport, and just 20 minutes from Historic Beaufort, Oldfield Club is surrounded by miles of salt and brackish marsh, salt flats, and oyster flats, and is home to some of the Lowcountry's finest fly fishing. Numerous stocked ponds in Oldfield provide fantastic fishing for bass and panfish and kayaks are available to paddle alongside dolphins in the soothing waters of the Okatie. Other activities include 5 miles of nature and walking trails, a Greg Norman-designed 18-hole golf course, golf clubhouse with full bar and dining, equestrian facilities, a sports center with a full workout facility, sauna, steam, and aerobic facilities, and waterfront dining at the scenic River House. The school covers everything from fly casting, choosing the right tackle, leaders and knots, to fly selection and how to safely release fish. Choose our one-day or two-day school.

After the school, students can arrange to take a guided trip on nearby waters through Bay Street Outfitters, 843-524-5250 or 877-501-5001.
