Local Smallmouth Guides

[moturkey]

I have chased smallies in many of our local creeks and rivers on self-guided outings in my kayak, but my passion is shifting towards flyfishing which is quite difficult to do from a kayak. I have taken a few guided smallmouth trips in Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Indiana and am looking for something similar in our home waters. Anybody have any recommendations for smallmouth fly guides based out of STL or that guide within 2 hours of STL?  Driftboat, raft, jet boat... doesn't matter to me so long as someone else is driving (or rowing) and it's stable enough to stand and cast. Thanks!

If you want to go a little further, Ryan Walker with Ozark Smallmouth Alliance is great. He has an awesome raft and is a great guide. https://www.facebook.com/Ozarkssmallmouth/
