Meet Captain Kyle Morella

Kyle Morella is the owner and operator of Salty Sloth Charters in Charleston, SC. Kyle holds an active USCG Captain's License. Kyle enjoys the challenge of fly fishing throughout Charleston backcountry waters in search of that next bull redfish. He enjoys teaching young kinds and new anglers fly fishing skills that they can use across the globe.

When Kyle isn't fishing, he's fishing. Or spending time outdoors with his friends and family.

Each winter, Kyle moves his fishing charter operation down to Florida's coastal waters and fishes the saltwater gulf near the Keys for seatrout, flounder, sheepshead, jack crevalle and more.

Kyle enjoys tying his own flies, photography and videography and teaching others about his passion. Kyle is also an avid conservationist, supporting catch and release and the protection of our public wildlife grounds.

Captain Kyle's charters are great for advance anglers and those familiar with fly fishing, but also great for those wanting to learn the trade. If you aren't interested in fly fishing or have a young child with you, light tackle equipment is always available and highly successful!
