The Story

The Orvis Lowcountry Saltwater Fishing School is a unique three-day experience hosted by Bay Street Outfitters at the Anchorage 1770 Inn, set on historic grounds overlooking the scenic Beaufort River in Beaufort, South Carolina. Surrounded by pristine Lowcountry flats teeming with redfish, this is an ideal setting to learn and enjoy the art of saltwater fly fishing from the bow of a flats boat.

Your adventure begins with expert instruction from one of Bay Street Outfitters' instructors and Orvis-endorsed guides. You'll develop essential fly-fishing skills, including fly casting (with a focus on the double haul), tackle and fly selection, knot tying, hook setting, and techniques for fighting fish. Whether you're new to the sport or refining your cast, this course offers valuable training for future fishing pursuits.

On days two and three, you'll hit the water—two anglers per skiff—with a seasoned Bay Street Outfitters captain. Explore the inshore waters of Port Royal Sound in pursuit of redfish, speckled sea trout, and cobia, depending on the season and conditions.

Tuition includes:

  • In-depth fly-fishing instruction
  • Two full days of guided fishing
  • Premium Orvis tackle provided for your use
  • Daily lunches

Please note: Due to the use of heavier tackle and casting techniques, participants should be 12 years or older.

At the Orvis Lowcountry Saltwater Fishing School, you'll get:

  • Fly casting techniques, including the double-haul
  • Tackle and fly selection specific to saltwater flats fishing
  • Knots and knot tying
  • Hook setting and fish fighting
  • Two days of guided fishing on Port Royal Sound
  • Use of premium Orvis tackle
  • Lunches

Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.
