Capt Graham Cotter is a full-time fly fishing and light tackle guide operating out of Hilton Head Island, SC with over 20 years of professional experience on the water. The Lowcountry of South Carolina offers a year-round fishery, especially for the shallow water angler looking to make presentations to fish using artificial lures or flies.
Backcountry Hilton Head is that of a Complete Angler meaning different days and times of year may require one approach over another. Redfish are the core focus the majority of the year with late August through February considered the Shallow Water Season, where sight fishing truly shines. The warmer months, April through September, offer more variety with schools of breeder-sized Jack Crevalle and Tarpon frequenting the region.
Each day is dependent on wind and tide and the skill set and desired approach of the angler. Whether you are a novice looking to level up or a seasoned angler looking to check a certain species off your list, Captain Graham and Backcountry Hilton Head can put you in position!
