The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources has instituted a stocking program for Santee Cooper and introduces approximately two and one half million fingerling Stripers into Lake Moultrie each spring. This stocking plus natural reproduction insures a healthy population of mature fish. The stocking of Arkansas Blue and Flathead Catfish in the mid 60's has created an outstanding fishery for these species.
Captain Lyon fishes in Lake Moultrie, the lower of the two Santee Cooper lakes which is twenty five miles from the Charleston International Airport. Lake Moultrie is easily accessible from the North via I-95 & from the West via I-20.
Lodging is available at Atkins Landing on the shore of Lake Moultrie. They have lakefront trailers, which are large, are heated & air conditioned & also have cable TV. Licenses, drinks, snacks, tobacco & other sundries are available in their store.
