Hey folks …. Jeff here with yet another simple, but very fun video. On this Sunday night I grabbed a 3 wt, float tube and a few terrestrials and headed to a small lake just a couple of minutes from home.
If you haven’t yet tried a float tube, there is no time like right now. There are literally hundreds of small lakes that are calling your name. With a float tube you will be able to access lakes/ponds that others can’t get their boat or even canoes/kayaks to or into!
The ease with which you can fish is amazing as a float tube will fit in the back of any car and thus there is no need for a big vehicle … and with the price of gas, that is a great bonus! For sure, the serenity of the lake and the ease with which you can get and maneuver a float tube will amaze you.
For a fly fisherman, the float tube allows you to keep your hands free to cast in any direction. Sure, there is a bit of a learning curve to float tubing …. but after a few spots you will get the hang of the kick fins and your legs will take over … leaving you time to fly fishing with independence!
If you have any questions send those to me via email at flyfishingwithjeff@gmail.com or by leaving a comment in the section below ….

A Fly Fishing and Drought Update
Hey folks, fly fishing with Jeff here …. while my summer of fly fishing started off with a bang it is now currently in a major whimper. If you haven’t noticed or paid attention to the upper great lakes … we are in one of the worst droughts in a very long time. So, I […]
Poppers, Peace and a Bunch Of Nice Smallmouth
Welcome to another fly fishing adventure as today I do about 4-5 miles of the upper St Croix river here in northwest Wisconsin on a beautiful 70 degree day. The barometric pressure was down a bit and the smallmouth bass were up and chasing from the get go. To say it was a peaceful day […]
DR. SLICK To the Rescue
Just last week I was once again out on one of my local rivers when I hooked a small pike; if you have ever dealt with pike or any toothy creature then you know and can understand how important it is to have a utensil to safely remove the hook and to not get ‘hooked’ […]
Dog Days Of Summer and Big Smallmouth Bass
I won’t say I am ever disappointed to land big smallmouth bass on the fly …. ever! However, I left home on this day with dreams and thoughts of a big musky, very big in fact. I have caught several musky over 40 inches in my fly fishing career and, in fact, landed my best […]
Hey Jeff, Stevn here I have been Flying off and on in Southern California for a while. Have a float tube but don’t get out much. When I do I can’t waist time so I manage it as well as I can.
So, wet shoes on the float tube and wading with them. I have seen the video series that you did from bottom up and you don’t use felt or rubber sole boots on the tube with your fins on.
That’s my question, what type or brand of boot do you use with your fins on that you can still use to wade with on the shore line?
Also when fishing for small mouth and Big Mouth Bass, what is your leader and Tippet Setup??
I usually don’t go longer than the pole length I’m using but what’s your take on it? ??
I truly enjoy the videos and your advice, Thank You for the time!
