Ozarks Smallmouth Alliance- https://osaflyco.com/
If you’re looking to hire a guide or if you’re wanting to hire a smallmouth guide as a gift, I highly recommend Ozarks Smallmouth Alliance. Ryan Walker, the founder of OSA, is not only an outstanding fly fishing guide, he’s my friend. I have had the pleasure to fish with him on multiple occasions and each outing has been a memorable experience. He knows the spots, the flies, and the techniques to help you hook up with lots of smallmouth, quality smallmouth, and sometimes both in one day!
Low Country Rafts
I’m not only a fan of Low Country Rafts, I’m also a customer. This is who I bought my new fly fishing raft from last fall and I have been thoroughly impressed by the product as well as customer service. Chris (the owner of Low Country Rafts) will take good care of you and will hopefully help you save a bunch of money, like he did for me!

If you are in need of a landing net or if you would like to purchase one for someone special in your life, I think you will like what this small business produces. I’m waiting on something special from them and I will be sure to highlight what I receive in a future post.

I’ve been following Creeks to Peaks on Instagram for awhile now. I started following the account because of some pretty impressive artwork that was being posted. If you need some stickers, shirts, or other fishy stuff, check this small business out!
Frontline Fly Fishing- https://www.frontlineflyfishing.org/
This organization has a special place in my heart. Not only am I a member, but I have seen firsthand how fly fishing and fly tying can help frontline workers deal with the things they have experienced and witnessed. If you want to purchase a sticker, a hat, a fly box, or other items, I promise that your money will be used for good!
I was introduced to the Conservation Federation of Missouri since I was contacted by the director and invited to attend a media camp that the organization was hosting. It didn’t hurt that the director of CFM is a fraternity brother that I got to know while attending the University of Central Missouri. It didn’t take long to see the good that CFM does for conservation in the state of Missouri. Since I was born in Missouri, have lived in Missouri for most of my life, and will probably die in Missouri, I support CFM’s endeavors. If you want to become a member or support conservation efforts in Missouri, feel free to check out the website.
Milo’s Flies- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560566668718
The is my buddy Milo’s endeavor and it’s a pleasure to support him. While we both sell flies online, we don’t tend to offer the same patterns and that’s good because Milo is significantly better at tying flies than me and I can’t compete with his skills! If you want to check out some meticulously tied streamers, check out his shop!
Space Coast Flies- https://www.spacecoastflies.com
I can vouch for Space Coast Flies because I bought flies from them last summer in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and they helped me catch fish. Whether you are wanting to cast some flies into surf or chase some inshore fish with streamers, you might check out their selection. They have a lot of classic patterns such as clousers (which caught ladyfish for me in the gulf) as well as some more exotic patterns like glass minnows (which also caught ladyfish for me in the gulf).
Black Fly Creations- https://www.blackflycreations.com/
Years ago, I won a giveaway that Black Fly Creations put on and I’ve been a customer since. This small business offers a wide variety of fly fishing apparel and accessories. The Black Fly Creations account on Instagram is a great follow as well!
Fly Armory- https://www.flyarmory.com/
Based out of Cassville, Missouri, not only does The Fly Armory crank out amazing flies, they are just good folks! I’ve had the pleasure to hang out with the owners of The Fly Armory and always walk away with an appreciation for their fly tying skills and genuineness. They do everything with all of their hearts and they do it all well!
E Z Eye Fly Company- https://ezeyefly.com/
I’ll be honest, I don’t have a connection to this company other than one of my fishing buddies has been using E Z Eye hooks for awhile and showing the benefits of using hooks with eyes that are larger than average. Regardless of why you might benefit from such a product, it is a product that you might want to familiarize yourself with in case you COULD benefit from such a hook either today or in the future.
Hoot's Custom Flies- https://www.hootscustomflies.com/
My buddy Rooster (owner of Hoot’s Custom Flies) is…well…a hoot. He is a man with a good heart and a passion for fishing. He ties a wide variety of patterns and is an accomplished angler. Hoot hails from Lebanon, Missouri, and knows the waterways of the area well. If you’re looking for some trout patterns or want to book a guided trip with him, check out the link!
