I have recently found yours podcast and really have enjoyed it. This summer my Son and I gained access to a remote area of Crooked Creek just south of Harrison Arkansas. We have been wade fishing and kayak fishing with really good success. I'm going to try to attach a couple of pictures maybe you can tell me if a particular fish caught was in Neosho Bass. Thank you guys and keep up the good work. I will be sharing your podcast for sure. 3:26

Ive found afew big buck beds that will be either between two boulders up high or against a big boulder that was down lower and especially if there's an overhanging bush thar they prefer to bed fairly consistently in the mountains south of you.

Wish I could have bumped into y’all! Was there all day, super cool event to be at!

Made it to question 4. After hearing the rest of the questions I am content with that performance

Now this is quality content and an absolute who's who of Ozark legends can't wait to be there next year!

So small mouth I what I’m hearing

As an Oklahoman, no

We should name it the Oklahoma bass

medium mouth bass

Caught a male, then the female out of thunderbird last winter/spring. 1.8lb and a 3.6lb bedding.

Nah bro that’s a smallmouth . You just telling a myth lmao

I think i saw a feller catch one down in the canals in El Centro

I nominate the name medium mouth

Dan coming out of left field with the knowledge! 🙌🏼😂

We need that app or some kind of website that you can submit a fish on a measuring board to identify Neosho or SMB, I think the UofA received money for a grant a few years ago.

Loved this series. I do have a question. I fish a few non-boatable small rivers and creeks in Southern MO. They are not Neosho bass in them, I believe they are still just dolomieu. However, they tend to be more slender, not as dark, and smaller than northern smallmouths. They also will not enter lakes that the streams are attached to, but the lakes here are probably a lot warmer than up north. My question is, if there is not enough genetic variation to be a different species, should these smaller stream smallies still have an unofficial nickname?

I’ve never lived anywhere except NWA, we call them Perch.

You guys are killing it with these podcast

Been listening from N.E. Oklahoma, Top quality podcast

The Dan Infalt of the Ozarks

Caney here I come! 😂

That guy that mentioned the buffalo knows what's up. They have to be one of the coolest fish ever. They have cranial nueromasts on their heads that connects to their lateral line system running down their body that allows them to detect changes in pressure and movement who knows what else. They don't spawn every year, can get to be monstrous sizes, and they fight real good on medium light rods. They are awesome fish, all three species of buffalo.

What an important and fascinating series! Both Donavon and Larry have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the Illinois River! Glad you were able to share it!

The bluffs and cliff faces on Tenkiller are gorgeous now. I couldn’t even imagine the view when it was just a river before the dam! 🤯

Before this episode I was a big fan….but now I’m an entire industrial cooling unit

33 mins wasn’t enough for this one! Got my attention. Ready for the next one already! Keep it up y’all.

Loving the podcasts and really enjoying this series on the neosho! Keep up the great work!

I've never held a fly rod but I've caught my share of carp and buffalo here in Arkansas. Baits they seem to take regularly, red worms, and craw style baits. It came as a surprise to me but I guess almost everything will eat small crawfish.

Awesome video. I'd like to know if Neosho are in Spring R? I saw a huge bass in there, it ate my minnow right beneath some falls but I lost it trying to get the net. It was an absolute pig.

It was the american chestnut that got me first. And really the two are identical in terms of their impact on both wildlife and our lives, but its that one tree could provide so many of the necessities of life. The american chestnut grew tall and straight over 100 ft and over 10 feet wide, with wood thats about as rot resistant as wood comes, making it the ideal timber tree. Ive read stories from the late 1800s of people living in cities who would take a vacation to the country side to collect chestnuts, and theyd make more money selling those chestnuts than they would from working that week. Also 1 in 3 trees was an american chestnut in the appalachian forests, it just blows me away that a forest tree could provide as much food if not more than crops we grow ourselves. Its hard to imagine that a forest as large as the forests of the eastern us could change so rapidly, in under a century, when castanea had been the dominant species for thousands of years, and theyve been around for millions.

Ive seen estimates of 1200 chestnuts or chinquipins coming off of young allegheny chinquipins, extrapolate that to a mature american chestnut, giving 3x the amount of nuts per bur, im really not qualified to guess but suffice it say many thousands of nuts per tree. Then imagine having 4 billion trees. Even if only half produced that is literally trillions of nuts to go around. When you think about it its a mriacle wildlife even survived the extinction of the american chestnut.

Nice💛💛💛

Great episode, as usual, fellas! It’s crazy to think that AR is the only place in the world that all 4 species are natively found!

The first time I heard Clay Newcomb's name was when Steve had asked why Arkansas didn't have quail anymore. Several podcasts later, a detailed and bullet pointed letter reached Steve's hands and he read it on air. The author was Clay.

Most waste of government money.....

Game Warden=Revenue generator

The traps are not putting a dent in the hog population.

AGFC is full of shit. All they are trying to do is come up with a way to make money off of the feral hogs. Just like everything else.

Social media and commercialization has hurt hunting big time. Our future generations will not have the hunting opportunities we have. It will be a rich man's game. Pay to play.

Do you think many of these flies would work in the western lakes?

I just took my early 90s Berkley Cyclone casting rod with a Diawa spincast reel out on the Meremac (sharing with kids on a busy Saturday). Caught many more smallies than I expected! Kept it simple and cost a fraction my go to spinning set up. Fun stuff, really decent ned rig combo!

Very cool on the history. I’ve got a lot right down the road from me at Wilson’s Creek. Can’t metal detect there though 😂

Very nice Bobby 💪

Love the episode. I have family that lives in Phillipsburg, cool little village and area.

Good thing I decided to rig up tackle while listening, yall right it was dark.

It's been several years since I've looked it up but I used to hunt in the sandhills of North Carolina and found that deer preferred Post oak as well. Nutritionally they are superior to quercus alba.

I love the Ozarks

is "Game and Fish" an Arkansas thing? F comes before G...
