My name is Austin Anderson and i’m a 29 year old full-time fishing guide living in Austin, Texas. I have been guiding clients on to massive carp and buffalo for ten years and have been full time for four years since graduating college. I grew up in the Dallas area fishing almost every day at local ponds and lakes, with fly fishing providing my avenue to start targeting carp and buffalo. I started fishing for trophy carp and buffalo at a young age, and by 15 I already had fishing sponsors and regularly wrote for a carp fishing magazine. I went to college at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas where I studied forestry and wildlife management. I am an avid tournament bass fisherman and fished in college for SFA as well as serving as president of the SFA Bass Club for 3 years. In addition to my carp and buffalo guiding, I also guide for trophy bass on my Phoenix bass boat. Outside of fishing I am an avid outdoorsman with hobbies including photography, hiking, birding, wildlife watching, kayaking, fly tying, and music. When I am not guiding anglers onto personal bests, you can find me on the lake behind the wheel of my bass boat, at a fishing tournament, in the river with a fly rod, or in a bivvy with a set of carp rods in the water.
