Part two with Dan Roberts gets tactical — and it doesn't disappoint. Dan walks through exactly how to fly fish for crappie using a game-changing indicator setup, breaks down the pre-spawn and post-spawn bass bite, and reveals why spotted bass might be the most underrated fly fishing target in the Ozarks.
Whether you're a beginner wanting a confidence-building species or a seasoned angler ready to chase topwater strikes, there's something here for every skill level.

What is The Ozark Podcast?
In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.
Our hosts are Kyle Veit and Kyle Plunkett, and our producer is Daniel Matthews
Theme music: 'American Millionaire' by JD Clayton
