Fly Fishing for Redfish in the Lowcountry
As an Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing guide, he takes great pride in providing the best experience possible for anglers.
Capt. Owen Plair owns a custom-built Maverick HPX-S.
Full Kevlar hull only weighing 1,050 lbs with the engine, smooth dry ride, and sub 6-inch draft. It never limits your ability as an angler on the shallow water flats of the Lowcountry.
Experience for yourself the comfort and performance of the Maverick HPX-S.
It has redefined the technical poling skiff and the ultimate fly fishing skiff in Lowcountry.
The footprint of this boat is very small. It gives you the advantage of skinny water. It’s not only as quiet as a hull can be, but pushes almost no water while poling a flat.
The small footprint allows you to get a lot closer to fish than most skiffs. It allows for better fishing and an easier cast. If you look at the skiff in person on the trailer you can see how sharp the S is at the nose of the boat, almost like a knife.
The other great thing about its hull design is riding in rough water. It has a large flare to the bow which keeps you dryer than any other 17.8, 6-inch draft boat on the market.
You can go days running in a true 2ft chop aboard, and get home completely dry.
The HPX-S is a little tippy compared to other skiffs. But that is a sacrifice you take to stay dry and have a better poling skiff.
Many anglers over the age of 50, some as old as 75, have no complaints about the boat being tippy. That is very important and proves that the S is a comfortable boat to fish.

Testimonials
“Fishing with Owen is special. He knows how to put you on fish and keeps you wanting to come back. Try him out if you haven’t already.” Client from Atlanta, GA- Scott Hinchmen.

“Had the pleasure of meeting and fishing with Capt Owen Plair this past spring with my buddy Brian. What an awesome day on the Broad river. Owen is young and full of energy but mature beyond his years. He put us on reds in the flats and my favorite topwater trout. One trout I will never forget was almost 6 lbs. Great guide and an awesome location can’t go wrong” Client from Charleston, SC- Marin Toporek.
–
“Been fishing with Owen for a few years now. Always an amazing time, very accommodating to all skill levels, and extremely knowledgeable. No trip to the low country is complete without a guided trip with Owen!” Client- Tyler Rutherford
–
“I highly recommend Capt. Owen Plair in Beaufort, SC. Tons of fish, few boats, beautiful marshes, and a guide who will pole to the horizon and back! Excellent equipment and instruction as well. Can’t wait to get back to the quiet corner of the Lowcountry!” Writer/Professor/Client- Michael Steinberg.

“Owen is responsible for showing me my first career Redfish on a fly. I’ve been out with Owen on a countless number of occasions and every time, I have a day to remember.” – Orvis Endorsed Guide of the year 2014 Johnson City, Tenessee Patrick Fulkrod.
–
“Owen was the kind of guide you want in a situation like this. He grew up fishing the area and was some kind of savant, owning his first boat at 8 years old. He knew this water as well as it can be known. Additionally, he was a great guy and fun to be around, which was a real plus given the long periods of poling. He worked hard to keep us on fish and succeeded sporadically.” Client from Souix Falls, SD- Dan Fraiser.
–
“Thanks, Owen! That was definitely the best guided trip I have taken since my Fly Fishing in South Louisiana trip. I’ll definitely be back in touch next time I’m in Beaufort. I’m still smiling about the fish you put me on.”
“Thanks for an outstanding evening in the Low Country, and, once again, for guiding me to many opportunities at tailing fish. Next time I will be better prepared to provide more hookups. It is possible we will be back again for Thanksgiving, but if not, then a cobia trip for sure in the late spring. I absolutely can’t wait to be back.” Client from Birmingham, Al- Rich Vanchina.
–
“Had the pleasure of getting on the bow of Owen’s Maverick HPX-S this past November. First of all, what an incredible fishery in Beaufort. I was impressed by the populations of redfish, the incredible schools, and the sight fishing opportunities they presented. Owen is a very knowledgeable, and very hard-working guide. We had tough visibility on the day we were out, and he continually moved us, and located fish, resulting in multiple hookups and fish to the boat. Thank you Owen, and can’t wait to get back up to do it again.” Client from Florida- Jon Roberson.

“I fished with Capt. Owen Plair this past Fall and he guided me to an epic couple of days of tailing redfish in the flood tide grass. This dude definitely guides these waters and guides them well… Capt. Owen is at the top of my list for any guide you are looking to book in Beaufort.” Captain Honson Lau from Miami, FL.v
