2011 Retrospective Dally’s Ozark Fly Fisher
2011 has been quite a year. Big fish, big floods and a new fly shop, to get up and running. Apart from the awesome fishing we experienced this year on the White River, my strongest memory will be the enthusiasm, and the grins and smiles of y’all our customers, friends walking through the door [...]

WELL this is the last fly fishing report from us for 2011 and what a year it has been. It still blows my mind that there has been so many big fish caught this year: high flows, the extended slot limit on brown trout, the skills of our guide team and the passion [...]
