Saltwater Fishing

3:23 Sec.

In recent years, the popularity of saltwater fly fishing has grown significantly. Much of this increase comes from the interest younger anglers have shown in the sport. The trend began back in the 1980s and ’90s, when fly-fishing legends like Lefty Kreh and Flip Pallot hit the TV airwaves, and it’s been climbing ever since. Still, the majority of inshore anglers remain loyal to spinning reels and the tackle that goes with them. It’s the style of fishing most grew up with, and for many, change comes slowly. Today, however, more fly rods, and their owners, are showing up on the saltwater flats and estuaries of the Carolinas. This growing trend brings a fresh approach to coastal fishing.
