Columbia Fishing & Outdoors

Columbia, the Capital City of SC, is centrally located in the state in an area called the Midlands.  This region offers a variety of fishing opportunities practically year-round on the beautiful fresh water lakes, rivers and streams that saturate the area. And when our weather changes to the slightly cooler temperatures of Fall, anglers become hunters and head into the woods for some serious hunting.

Green lights are better for watching the fish swim rather than catching them. I have heard a few theories with the most popular being the fish can see the lures better with the light coming from the bottom. With that thought, I tried a new technique that worked great for us, and I think it can help you catch a few more too!Oct 9th, 2025

Lefty describes the Deceiver as a tying method rather than a specific fly pattern. This allows for modifications in color, size and materials. These alterations have made the Deceiver extremely versatile. Here are a few “alternative” Deceivers you should think about tying.Oct 2nd, 2025
