● About

Local Knowledge

I’m Capt. Kyle Morella. I’ve been guiding out of McClellanville for ten years: sight-fishing redfish on the flats, tailing fish on the flood tides, and a lot of days spent learning how these fish move.

The Ditch is the stretch of Intracoastal that accesses Cape Romain and Bulls Bay, one of the wildest marshes left on the East Coast. It’s where I cut my teeth, where I guide and where I live.

● The Ditch School of Fishing

Class Is Outside

Fly casting lessons built around your cast, not a cookie-cutter fix.

Private lessons in Charleston, remote coaching from anywhere in the world and clinics for kids/ adults and homeschool groups.

Every cast is filmed and broken down, and every lesson is built for the angler you’re working to become.
