Welcome to CASTAFLY

Hey, friends! Thanks for stopping by.

CASTAFLY is about more than catching fish. It’s about exploring the outdoors, building community, sharing knowledge, and making memories between the banks.

Here you’ll find fly fishing videos, helpful resources, upcoming community events, and real-world adventures chasing smallmouth and trout throughout the beautiful streams and rivers of the Ozarks.

Whether you’re picking up a fly rod for the first time or you’ve spent years on the water, you’re welcome here. We share the successes, the mistakes, what we’ve learned, and hopefully a little inspiration to get outside and explore.

Be sure to visit our resources page to discover the fly shops, fly tiers, guides, clubs, organizations, and local businesses helping make our outdoor community stronger.

So take a look around, make yourself at home, and maybe find a little inspiration for your next adventure.

Get outside. Explore more. Build community. GET LOST.

Castafly on YouTube

I’ve been filming and sharing our fly fishing adventures since October 2020. What started as a passion for fly fishing and creating videos has grown into something much bigger—new adventures, incredible experiences, and friendships I never would have made without CASTAFLY.

With more than 300 videos and counting, there’s plenty to explore. I hope you’ll take some time to browse our adventures, pick up a few ideas along the way, and maybe find a little inspiration for your next trip to the water. Thanks for being part of the journey!

  • Roaring river trout fishing

    For trout fishing enthusiasts, Roaring River State Park located in southwest Missouri is a must-visit destination. Known for its stunning natural beauty and abundant trout population, the park offers anglers a unique opportunity to experience some of the best trout fishing in the region. This is where our YouTube channel started and holds a special place in our hearts.

  • smallmouth in the OZARKS

    The pristine streams of the Ozarks are home to the native Ozark Smallmouth bass, a species with a slow growth rate that requires clean, clear waters to thrive. These remarkable fish can take up to 15 years to reach 20 inches in length, which is why we strongly advocate for catch-and-release practices to help preserve their population.
