Sharing the journey

Our mission is to share our Ozark outdoor adventures and inspire you to get outside and GET LOST. You’ll find us wet-wading with a fly rod or floating down the river, chasing the thrill of the catch. Every YouTube episode highlights the flies, gear, and techniques we’re using, along with extra behind-the-scenes thoughts in the video description—our “Backcast.” We’d love for you to subscribe and join us on the next adventure.
