St. Simons Outfitters on St. Simons Island was awarded the prestigious “Orvis Guide Service of the Year” for 2006. All guides are USCG licensed Captains.

This western most point on the Eastern Seaboard has a significant tidal flow, which greatly influences the character of local islands, bars and channels. A pristine location often thought of as a golfing Mecca is actually one of the best fishing areas on the coast. It is an area we know intimately and one that we continually work to protect. Fortunately, this “unknown treasure” is neither crowded nor over-fished. Another fact not known to many is the great variety of fish in the Golden Isles. In fact, at times there are more species of fish in this area than any other area on the East Coast.

We have had the pleasure of outfitting the fly fisherman for over 40 years. Some of our customers are world record holders. Topping the list are the records for the elusive Atlantic salmon. Three of the records set in 1983 are still standing. The 2 lb leader for the 28 lb Salmon was unique as was the 4 lb leader record for the 38 lbs 8 oz Salmon.

We welcome the opportunity to be your outfitter or to guide you on your next fly-fishing trip to the waters off the Golden Isles of Georgia.
