Fly fishing at Hobcaw Barony





Captain Steve Thomas is an Orvis-Pro guide who specializes in fly fishing and runs the release-only fishing program for Hobcaw Barony plantation in Georgetown. He took his fishing buddy Joe Bibbo of Florence into the flooded marsh at dawn and Lowcountryoutdoors.com was right there for every heart-pounding encounter with the thirteen redfish that were located. Captain Thomas has exclusive rights to guide anglers on the pristine tidal flats on the plantation, which is just south of DeBordeau. Wade fishing is the most popular trip but Thomas also offers kayak fishing with fly or spinning tackle for the backcountry slam species of trout, flounder and spot-tailed bass. Thomas can be reached at 843-997-6981 and said, "The redfish will gorge on fiddler crabs between now and the end of October."
