First time on this board. Interested in finding where the put in is
for Copahee Sound. Been lurking on this board for awhile, and am interested in flyfishing the area, however, am not adverse to use the spinning rod. What types and sizes of flies are being used in the area? I am in a 138 Old Town Loon, and appreciate any help.

Anything that looks like a crab or shrimp. Most of mine don’t look like either, rather a mix between the two. Its more about presentation than pattern. I like browns and dark patterns. A little flash, but not overkill. Others will tell you different colors and patterns. They will all work with the right cast. Vary the weight of the fly depending on where you are fishing (thick grass, open water, etc). You want enough weight to get the fly to the bottom, because that’s where the fish feeds. You don’t want so much weight on the fly that it sounds like an egg sinker when it lands. Weedguards are necessary when fishing thick grass. Fish aren’t leader shy, I usually have 12 lb Ande or 15 flouro for fishing around Charleston.

Yeah, what Flyreds says…trust me, his tips and recommendations have increased my longrod success. Available flats are everywhere -Cooper, Wando, ICW, Stono, Copahee, Bulls…but keep in mind that the flooded marsh flats are not the only place to catch the fish - the cooler months get the reds schooled up and somewhat “easier” targets for the flyrod…I look forward to Dec, Jan, Feb…
Only dead fish go with the flow.
