If you’ve spent any time fly fishing in Arkansas, chances are you’ve heard the name Ben Levin. With more than two decades of guiding experience, Ben has quietly become one of the most respected names in Ozark fly fishing — known for his deep knowledge of the White River, his relentless pursuit of native smallmouth bass, and his passion for teaching others.
In our two-part interview, Ben breaks down everything from Caddis hatches and custom fly patterns to why Ozark rivers offer some of the most diverse fishing in the country. He’s fished everywhere — Cuba, Alaska, Patagonia — and still says the Ozarks are home to some of the best freshwater fishing on Earth.
