I got a call last week from my buddy, Scotty Davis, a guide in Charleston, South Carolina and the owner of
Low County Fly Shop. He was driving down to the
East Cape Skiffs shop in Orlando to pick up his Lostmen. He was having some touch ups done to his skiff. Scotty had a few hours he could kill after he picked up his skiff. So, what do a couple of guys that love to fly fish do to kill a couple hours? They fish.
The plan was to fish Mosquito Lagoon and play with some of the back country fish. So, Scotty, Larry and I met at the dock, dropped Scotty's skiff and headed into the backwaters of Mosquito Lagoon.

Since Larry and I get to fish the Lagoon whenever we want, Scotty got first crack on the bow. Within a few minutes of poling, we were finding fish. The fish were following their typical Fall routine working shorelines, crashing little shrimp and minnows.

Scotty made a great presentation to a fish that went nuts over his fly. It's great to see Mosquito Lagoon redfish, that can be very spooky, aggressively take a fly. This cooler water seems to have them fired up lately.

We had a few eats and before we knew it, we were out of time. All in all, it was a great way to spend an afternoon off.
If you're ever in Charleston, South Carolina be sure to look up
Low County Fly Shop. Go in and hang out with Scotty. It's a laid back fly shop made up of some interesting personalities. I guarantee you'll be glad you stopped by.
