No fishing for me this weekend—I needed a little break. But I did drop a new episode on my GoPro setup. I know that kind of video isn’t for everyone, but I had a few folks ask for a behind-the-scenes look, so I figured why not! Plus, it might help broaden the YouTube channel a bit.

Next week I’ll start planning the CASTAFLY 2025 Meet & Greet—more details coming soon! And fingers crossed I’ll be back on the water chasing fish next weekend. Hope you all had an awesome weekend and got a chance to get out there! Have a good one! 🎣👊

New Episode: I break down my current GoPro setup for capturing all my fly fishing adventures on YouTube. I’ll walk you through the cameras I use and why I chose them, plus the key accessories that help me film epic footage while exploring the stunning waters of the Ozarks.

If you’re looking to buy your first action camera or upgrade your current setup, I hope this video helps guide you in the right direction. As always, feel free to reach out with questions or ideas. I’m happy to help.

Don’t be that person—pack out your trash. Heck, some folks are even handing out free trash bags! Be part of the solution and help keep our waters clean and safe!

🚣‍♂️Float Trip Rule #1: Don’t Be Trashy 🗑️

Headed to the river? We’ve got FREE trash bags at James River Mercantile—because nature is beautiful and your empty snack wrappers aren’t.

👜 Grab a bag before your float
🧃 Fill it with your trash, not your regrets
♻️ Bring it back here and we’ll take care of the rest (you keep the memories, we’ll keep the mess)

Let’s keep the river clean, the fish happy, and the raccoons from throwing a kegger at your campsite.
Trash the float, not the river.

If you’ve been watching my videos for a while, you might’ve noticed a little theme — they often start in black and white. That’s intentional. For me, it represents those moments when life feels a bit heavy or out of sync. We’ve all been there — lacking motivation, feeling stuck, wondering if it’s even worth getting outside.

But then the color kicks in. That moment is symbolic too — it’s when something shifts. I’m fired up, grateful I pushed through, and reminded of how much better life feels when I just go. Get outside. Get lost. Get after it.

I hope you find that same spark in your own life — the thing that helps you flip the switch. Thanks so much for all your support.

STICKER ALERT 🚨
I’ve got stickers. Like… a ridiculous amount of them. You want one? Of course you do. I’ve handed out thousands to folks I've met on the water over the last few years.

Rumor has it a CASTAFLY sticker can increase your casting distance, help you spot more fish, and make your cooler 73% cooler. Can I prove it? Absolutely not. But let’s roll with it.

For the next two weeks, I’m giving away FREE CASTAFLY sticker packs—no strings, no shipping, no secret membership to a fly fishing cult (yet).

Just head to our website, drop your info, and BOOM—stickers are headed your way, along with a handwritten note from yours truly.

Get ’em while you can. Your best friend will thank you when you slap one on his windshield 😂

New Episode Drop: In this special episode, I teamed up with Ozarks native Mr. Ryan Walker, owner of Ozarks Smallmouth FlyCo Guides and Outfitters.

Ryan is also the founder of the Ozarks Smallmouth Alliance, which is dedicated to protecting, promoting, and preserving the Ozarks’ premier game fish—the smallmouth bass. Through education, outreach, and leading by example, Ryan is doing the work that matters.

I’ve followed Ryan for years on social media, watching him do what he does best: Free. The. Fighter. He’s built a brand that not only connects people to the outdoors, but gives them the chance to experience an authentic Ozarks guided adventure.

Back in the ’90s, I lived in Branson and fished the James River a couple of times. I hadn’t been back since. The James has been on my radar for the last few years, but between bad timing, weather, and excuses—I never made it happen. Looking back, I’m glad I waited… because floating it with Ryan made it all worth it.

We laughed, told stories, caught some incredible fish (and a few trees), and I walked away a better angler. Ryan’s knowledge of the water, his approach to reading currents, and his casting tips are next level. I’m still learning, and I’m grateful for everything he shared.

If you’re looking for a top-tier smallmouth float trip—look no further.
Remember the name: Ryan Walker.
