    Kyle Kosovich is the owner and head guide at Longboat Outfitters. Using antique plans and space-aged materials, he built a unique, structurally modern but historically accurateversion of the historical White River jon boat (also known as the “jack boat”), which he currently uses to guide the Missouri Ozarks. From 1940s-style multi-day floats, complete with gourmet campfire baking, to modern tailwaters such as the Norfork, this is a boat–and a style of fishing–that can do it all.

    Zach:

    I grew up in the Missouri Ozarks in the 50s and 60s and heard lots of good stories about float trips, but never got to take one, so I’m glad to learn more about them.

    Having listened to your podcast, I wanted to read the book on Ozark river history that Kyle mentioned.
