Bryan Bade has been guiding the North Fork of the White for over a decade. He lives on the river full-time with his family and runs Sunburst Ranch, a canoe rental and campground on the North Fork River.

He grew up fishing these Ozark rivers — the North Fork, Eleven Point, and Current — and now spends his days helping others experience them firsthand. Whether that’s learning to fish for the first time, or putting up that fish of a lifetime.

Some of the Best Fly Fishing in the Ozarks

The North Fork and Eleven Point are home to wild fish, clear water, and scenic floats. Ozark Mountain Fly Fishing is based right on the North Fork of the White, a river that holds both blue ribbon trout and, during summer months, trophy striped bass pushing up from Norfork Lake. These are unique conditions you won’t find many other places in the country.

From late May through July, water levels, temperature, and clarity often come together to create ideal conditions for streamer fishing. The Eleven Point offers consistent trout and smallmouth fishing through most of the year and is one of the most scenic floats in southern Missouri.

Fly fishing the Ozarks is something you don’t forget. Book a trip today to experience Missouri’s world famous fishing firsthand.
