Part 3: Changes in the River

We are joined by Donavan Clary and Larry Clark, fishing guides on the Illinois River with 30+ years of experience to discuss the changes they've observed regarding the Neosho Bass.

In 2018, a previously classified strain of Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) was elevated to its own unique species: Micropterus velox aka the Neosho Bass. This is the story of its re-classification, its hard fighting nature, and its fight for survival in the Ozark Mountains Region.

Neosho: Symbol of the Ozarks is hosted by Kyle Veit and Kyle Plunkett, produced by Daniel Matthews, and is a project from The Ozark Podcast
