Ozark Mountain Fly

Ozark Mountain Fly in Fort Smith, Arkansas offers some of the most immersive guided fly fishing trips in the state, right in the heart of the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains. With 25 years of experience, Keith Reeves leads a top-tier Arkansas fly fishing guide service that specializes in smallmouth bass, scenic wade fishing, and custom kayak and canoe excursions. If you're searching for the best fly fishing in Arkansas streams, this is where you’ll want to be.

From May through early October, guests can enjoy half-day or full-day float and wade trips across remote rivers and pristine mountain waters. Whether you're paddling down the Ouachita River in a 14'7" Old Town canoe or casting from a stable 11.5' FeelFree kayak, Ozark Mountain Fly provides access to lesser-pressured fisheries few ever get to explore. Keith’s trips are equally suitable for beginners, families, and experienced anglers looking for custom fly fishing adventures in Arkansas rivers.

Smallmouth bass on the fly is the star of the show here, but spinning tackle is also welcome for those who prefer a different approach. These trips are designed to be flexible—guests can choose fly fishing, wade fishing, or paddling trips depending on skill level and desired experience. With a strong emphasis on safety, technique, and fun, Keith ensures every guest has a memorable outing on the water.

For those seeking more than a day trip, Ozark Mountain Fly offers an unforgettable 2-day overnight float fishing trip—complete with camping gear, air mattresses, and tents included. These unique experiences are perfect for couples, father-son duos, or close friends wanting to reconnect with nature and fish remote stretches far from crowds.

Guests should bring lunch, snacks, and a valid Arkansas fishing license (resident or non-resident). Meals can also be provided upon request. A 50% deposit and 3-day cancellation notice (excluding weather) are required to confirm your booking.

If you're ready to explore fly fishing rivers in Arkansas, cast for smallmouth in scenic solitude, and enjoy authentic backcountry hospitality, Ozark Mountain Fly is your go-to guide service near the Ouachita National Forest.
