Travel your way to the 2023 Sowbug Roundup in Mountain Home and you can learn about fly fishing destinations near and far.
The 2023 Roundup on March 23, 24 and 25 has the theme of Fly Fishing Travel and features a range of seminars from fishing our local tailwaters, the Spring River, Tennessee, Missouri and places further away including the Western Rockies, Alaska and South America.
And of course our own Tadd Fore and Duane Hada will be giving a rundown on Ozark Smallmouth and their Smallmouth tour.
The Sowbug also promises more than 150 tyers, an array of vendors, free fly tyng classes and much more. Dally's of course will be present with our usual booth highlighting all sorts of new season goodies.
Block out the evening of May 27 and share the stoke of the Fly Fishing Film Tour Under The Bridge Festival.
An epic evening in an epic location on the banks of the White River in Cotter. The natural river bank under the historic Cotter Bridge forms an epic amphitheater to host the event.
The Festival opens around 6pm with food trucks, local craft brews and local music. The film presentation of short fly fishing films, will start around 8pd, using the eastern most abutment of the historic Rainbow Bridge as the screen. Enjoy the “stoke reel” of highlights from this year’s selection of films
The films are presented by major sponsorship by Dally’s and Potter Block Properties
IF you want to tackle something a little different, even a little out there It’s time to download your entry form and start planning for the 2023 Dally’s All Species Odyssey, on June 10 and 11.
Trout may get all the fanfare but the Odyssey is all about celebrating the host species less travelled inhabiting the Ozarks. Size doesn’t matter, yanking scores of stockers doesn’t count. The idea is simple most species wins.
THE Odyssey is a slightly competitive competition founded on the principals of passionate conviction and having fun very seriously, as the annual Streamer Lovefest.
The 24 hour epic will see teams of two fly fishers try to catch as many of our 33 target flyrod species as possible. The most species caught, photographed and released in the time allotted, will win the bragging rights and a share of what last year was over $6500 in prizes.
We are also adding a Friday night reception for all competitors to get together for food and beverages and fellowship with an special group: those taking on the 2023 Odyssey.
