Episode Blog:
Another summer has come and gone, and autumn is definitely settling in here in the Ozarks.

In this episode, we’re taking a look back at some of the incredible fish I caught while fly fishing the stunning streams of the Ozarks this summer.

The interesting part? I spent nearly the entire summer fishing with just one fly pattern. It took patience, focus, and a lot of commitment to stick with it. Sure, I tried other patterns here and there, but I kept coming back to the same one—a single pattern and color variation that worked all summer long for both smallmouth and Neosho bass.

This summer, I didn’t just learn how and where to fish this fly. I also honed my casting and mending techniques, which helped me improve on the water and, naturally, land more fish. My go-to streamer was the Roo’s Deceiver, tied on a 1/0 hook size by Hoot’s Custom Flies. I had the most success with the chartreuse and white version, but the olive color worked well too.

I hope you had an incredible summer doing what you love. As always, thank you so much for the support and for watching. -Paul

My Leader/Tippet Setup: I use Cortland’s Monofilament Nylon Leader Material to build all my bass fishing leaders. I use 4ft of 20lb down to a micro swivel then add 2ft of 14lb down to my fly. Simple to build and gets the job done.
