David  Cargile


Captain David Cargile David's first experience with a flyrod began with the statement I am not going to use that wimpy thing. He bought his first flyrod the next day and now, almost forty years and several hundred flyrods later, he has never looked back and remains a dedicated fly fishing fanatic. David has fly fished throughout the United States including Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and California as well as the Everglades and the Keys, and he has fished throughout Canada, the Bahamas, both coasts of Mexico, as well as Central and South America for many saltwater species including Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Roosterfish, and freshwater species such as Peacock Bass, Salmon, Black Bass, Trout and Pike. His favorite targets are Bonefish, Snook, Tarpon and Permit, but is he is also happy pursuing our local Redfish, Cobia and Sea trout. David is a Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructor and is an instructor at the Orvis Saltwater Fly fishing School in South Carolina. He is an avid fly tyer and is the originator of the Sweet Ernie Bonefish Fly that was featured in Fly Fishing in Saltwater magazine. David holds the Master Naturalist designation from The Lowcountry Institute and Clemson University. His recent experience rescuing a bottlenose dolphin was featured in an article in Dude magazine. David lives on Ladys Island, SC with Ann and two excellent rescued dogs named Maggie and Scooby.
