Beaufort Fishing Guide
Captain Nick Boyd is a committed and devoted expert who enjoys mentoring individuals at any skill level. A “true” native who spent his life in these South Carolina waters where the tides and creeks run through his veins. He has traveled all over and led expeditions but the Low Country is his home. Nick is a lifelong fly fisherman, avid outdoorsman, and a Coast Guard licensed and insured captain.
The Boat: Capt. Nick runs the “ragged edge” of the low country in a Hells Bay Neptune flats skiff that is designed to handle everything from our open sounds to the skinniest of flats in less than 7 inches of water. This boat was designed and built for Jose Wejebe of The Walkers Cay Chronicles and where he operated this boat and passed it onto Nick, from Jose’s family, to carry on the Fly Fishing guide tradition.
