Chris, surely there is a SC river that would lend itself to a float hunt? Take the fly rod and some poppers and pick up a few bream, too.

Missouri's Ozark streams lend themselves to this, but here in the north part of the state, there's not much in the way of float streams outside of the oversized Missouri and Mississippi.
