Tom Rosenbauer’s podcast visitor today is nation vocalist JD Clayton, a gifted singer/songwriter and well-rounded good guy who likes to fly fish for smallmouth bass in his native Ozarks. He fills Tom in on what their fishing resembles, and why he likes this rural part of the nation a lot. Take a look at the video at the bottom of the page to follow in addition to JD and good friends on a canoe journey in the Ozarks.
