CASTAFLY Guided Adventures
Discover the Ozarks through a day on the water with CASTAFLY Guided Adventures.
Based in Northwest Arkansas, our half-day wet wade fly fishing trips are designed for anglers of all experience levels. Whether you’re making your first cast with a fly rod or looking to sharpen your skills, we’ll meet you where you are and help you become a more confident angler.
Our passion is pursuing the hard-fighting smallmouth and native Neosho bass that call the Ozark streams home. After spending years exploring the creeks and rivers of Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri, we’ve developed a deep appreciation for these fisheries and the unique experiences they provide. We’re excited to share that knowledge with you while introducing you to some of the region’s most beautiful waters.
Every trip is more than just catching fish. You’ll learn practical fly fishing techniques, reading water, fly selection, presentation, and strategies you can take with you on future outings. Along the way, you’ll wade crystal-clear streams, take in the stunning Ozark scenery, and enjoy the slower pace that makes time on the water so rewarding.
At CASTAFLY, our mission extends beyond fly fishing. We believe the outdoors has the power to connect people, build friendships, and create lifelong memories. Whether we land one fish or twenty, our goal is for you to leave with greater confidence, a deeper appreciation for the Ozarks, and an experience you’ll never forget.
Come discover why so many anglers fall in love with the Ozarks—one cast at a time.

What to expect
You’re going to get wet—this is true wet wading. Expect everything from shallow stretches to water that can reach chest deep. We’ll be hiking over rugged river rock, navigating uneven terrain, and occasionally crossing downed timber. Sun and eye protection are a must. We can go over best practices for clothing and footwear ahead of time to make sure you’re comfortable and prepared for the conditions.

Where
Once contacted, we’ll set up a time to connect, review schedules, and plan the details of our outing. The trip will take place in southwest Missouri.
Weather and river conditions can change quickly. We’ll touch base 24 hours before the trip to confirm conditions and make sure we’re good to go and ready to hunt.
