TRAVIS HAMMOND I began fly fishing at age 12 and have never stopped. My first quarry on the fly were panfish and largemouth bass in the farm ponds of the Alabama countryside but I soon expanded my horizons to saltwater species of the Gulf Coast. Eventually I moved to Washington State were I mainly pursued trout for years until I discovered the amazing warm water fishery of the Columbia River Basin. For the last five years I have focused mainly on carp but still do chase trout and steelhead. Sight casting to carp to me is fly fishing in its purest form. It calls on all of your skills for spotting the fish, presenting the fly and detecting the take (the hardest and most rewarding part).
