Saltwater Fly Fishing Adventures with Fly Fishing OBX

The Outer Banks of North Carolina stretch as a barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the mainland, a dynamic landscape of shifting sands, tidal flats, and quiet estuaries. Kill Devil Hills, where Fly Fishing OBX operates, is a gateway to some of the East Coast’s richest saltwater fly fishing opportunities. This is an area defined by expansive flats where redfish, drum, trout, and flounder wait beneath the surface, making it a prime destination for anglers aiming to hook a trophy or sharpen their fly fishing game.

Fly Fishing OBX, led by guide Harry, offers a welcoming and highly professional approach to saltwater fly fishing on the Outer Banks. With nearly three decades of experience, Harry brings a deep knowledge of local waters and fish behavior, creating a trip that feels equal parts expert instruction and relaxed camaraderie. His patience and knack for teaching beginners—as well as those who have logged years on the water—make every outing both productive and enjoyable.

The Outer Banks flats feature wide, shallow stretches of water with clean sand bottoms and scattered seagrass beds. Such habitats attract red drum in particular, along with speckled trout and striped mullet schools. The tides play an important role here, as varying water levels reveal fishing spots and influence how the fish move. Harry’s attention to safety and comfort ensures you’re in good hands while chasing these fish in sometimes challenging wind or shifting current conditions.

What elevates Fly Fishing OBX is the personalized experience: whether it’s a morning charter with family, a session teaching fly casting basics, or a patient chase for “reds,” Harry treats each client with respect and a genuine passion for putting people on fish. The Outer Banks’ natural beauty—the endless blue horizon, calls of coastal birds, and occasional dolphin pod—completes an outing that’s as memorable as it is rewarding. For anglers visiting the Outer Banks, a day on the water with Fly Fishing OBX presents an unmatched chance to connect directly with this unique marine ecosystem while honing a timeless angling craft.
