About this water
The Saluda River tailwater below Lake Murray Dam is South Carolina's most productive trout fishery, with cold, year-round releases supporting a thriving population of brown and rainbow trout. The section from the dam downstream to Bush River Road is particularly popular with fly anglers targeting large brown trout. Wading access is available at multiple points, and the river is known for producing trophy-sized fish.
