We’re excited to announce our Fly Fishing 101 Class coming to Ozark Angler in Little Rock on June 13th from 10am–2pm!

This class is built for beginners or anyone wanting to build a stronger foundation in fly fishing. We’re going to cover all the basics and help take some of the intimidation out of getting started.

We’ll be covering:
• Gear & setup
• Knots
• Flies & fly selection
• Entomology
• Reading the water
• Casting basics
• And more

The class is $125, BUT you’ll receive $100 back as in-store credit the day of the class to put toward gear, flies, or anything else in the shop.

We’re also including a FREE membership to Arkansas Fly Fishers with sign up.

We only have 20 spots available, so once they’re full, they’re full.

Whether you’ve never touched a fly rod or just want to learn more and build confidence on the water, this is going to be a great class.

Call or stop by Ozark Angler in Little Rock to reserve your spot!

This trout had to use echolocation to find our fly. 🐬

Little Rock tying night is back this Wednesday at Ozark Angler. We’ll get rolling around 5:30 and hang out until whenever the last scraps of marabou hit the floor.

No formal class, no sign up, and no pressure if you’re brand new. Bring a vise if you have one, grab a spot at the table, tie a few flies, swap ideas, and talk fishing. If you don’t tie and just want to hang out, that works too.

We’ll have materials out, cold drinks in the fridge, and plenty of bad fishing stories ready to go. Streamers, bugs, dry flies, weird creations that probably shouldn’t work but somehow do… tie whatever you want.

These nights are becoming one of the best parts of the shop and we’d love to see more folks around the table.

Took wade fishing this afternoon and we may have got caught in a quick pop up storm. We took cover in the woods and waited it out and went back in.

I fished a hopper dropper rig and had some good eats on the hopper. Going to be hard for me to take that hopper off now!

Big things happening at Fin & Feather and Ozark Angler. We’re proud to announce that Scott Fly Rods are officially coming to BOTH shop locations.

This was a huge pickup for us.

For over 45 years Scott has been handcrafting fly rods in Montrose, Colorado and they’ve built a reputation for making some of the finest rods in the world. What makes them even more special is you won’t find them just anywhere. Scott only partners with a select group of specialty fly shops that are passionate about fly fishing, education, and taking care of customers the right way.

That means a lot to us because that’s exactly what we’re trying to build here.

Justin put together a quick video from the Little Rock shop highlighting the first three series we brought in:

The Session
A smooth, high performance rod with Scott’s signature “fast with feel” action. Lightweight, responsive, easy to cast, and just flat out fun to fish. This is the kind of rod that makes you want to stay on the water longer.

The Centric
One of the most impressive freshwater rods we’ve ever put our hands on. Crazy accurate, insanely light in hand, tons of feel, and effortless line speed. This rod flat out performs at every distance.

The Sector
Built for saltwater and big game applications. Fast, powerful, stable in the wind, and loaded with some of the best components ever put on a fly rod. This thing is an absolute weapon.

These rods are handcrafted in the USA and you can feel it the second you pick one up.

Come by the shops and put your hands on them. We’re fired up to finally have Scott Fly Rods here at Fin & Feather and Ozark Angler.

Had this brown chase a rainbow straight at the boat. Then continue to chase it under my boat and thumped the bottom of the boat pretty good. Then came out from underneath the boat and swam straight at my oar and grabbed it with its mouth and shook its head. It about knocked the oar out of my hands. The proceeded to do it two more times!!! This was just after that and you see him take another look at it. I bet I am teeth marks on my oars after that. Pretty cool experience on the river today.

Had a great time as always guiding Casey, Erin, and Sandy! I have been taking these girls fishing for a few years now and it’s always a blast. We did a late afternoon trip and the fishing was really good. Lots of fish to the boat and got to see a pretty incredible hatch come off around 7pm.

We have guided trips available all summer! Let’s get you on the books for your next fishing adventure. The little red is fishing great right now.
