About
Austin Young was born in New Mexico, raised in Arizona, and spent some time in Colorado, Georgia, and South Carolina. While in the Southwest, Austin spent a lot of his free time hunting, fishing, and camping. The positive impression that the outdoors made on him growing up would continue to throughout his life, and the lessons he learned would come in handy during his time spent in the U.S. Army.
While enlisted, Austin was stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia. There he was a medic for an infantry platoon that spent a lot of the time training in the swampy woods of Savannah. During his 4 years stationed there, Austin’s Unit would deploy to Afghanistan. Upon returning to the states and during his last year in the military, he married his fiancé Krista Young.
Austin, Krista and their two kids lived in Colorado after leaving the military. It is there where Austin found fly fishing. The passion was forged along the steep canyon walls that line the Cache La Poudre River in Fort Collins, CO. He knew he had to find a way to make a living doing what he loved.
Now living in the beautiful Lowcountry of South Carolina, Austin and his family call Charleston home. He continues to pursue his passion for the outdoors daily and enjoys sharing the experience with his outdoor videography business.

AWESOME TIME with Austin! Met him at the boat launch early, so we hit the water looking for Big Reds! He found em right away, but my fly presentations weren’t what they were looking for. We switched up to spinning tackle and finally put one in the boat. My PB, but still room for improvement!! It was a little nippy on the water and since I forgot my jacket, Austin went above and beyond and quickly stopped back by his truck and grabbed a wind breaker for me. Now THAT is service! Most guides would’ve said, “too bad”, and I’d froze my butt off, but Austin is a Veteran and just shows there are good guys in the world still!! He put me on the fish and we had a blast! Saw dolphins and Ospreys and Blue Herons doing their thing in the wild! Do yourself a favor and call him when you’re ready for a good trip on the waters near Charleston, SC!!! Thanks again Austin, much respect young man!!

Recently completed a five day trip with Austin. Four of the five days the weather , both with temps and visibility, were front and center. Austin had a plan A, B , C and D. Even though the conditions were not favorable, he managed to put us on fish throughout each day. His knowledge of the area , both in where to locate and their behaviors, allowed us to target the redfish. He is very respectful of the habitat and residents along the waterways. Would certainly and will definitely book again. Would not hesitate.

Super fun, informative, and thoughtful guide. Conditions weren’t great for stalking low tide redfish, cloudy and visibility was poor, but can’t control the weather! Austin put me on several fish and taught me what type of features to look for. Great conversationalist, and it was cool to talk about sustainability and fishing. Charleston is really crowded, and he’s really intent on making anglers aware of human pressure on our fishery. Had a great time and learned a lot. Hope to go with him again in 2025!

My marsh hen hunt with Austin was amazing. We had such a great day and got after a ton of birds. He was super helpful and informative on every step of the hunt. Can’t wait to get back out there with him!
