Oh, what a night …. as the 70’s song says. Once in a while all the stars align and weather, water and flies are on the same page …. which results in an awesome experience on the water. I was able to float about 5 miles of one of my favorite NW Wisconsin rivers in search of big smallmouth on the fly. As you see from the video … the fish were chasing and truly believed that my white “reversed tied bucktail” fly was indeed a meal!
I love the outdoors …. but when it all comes together and beauty is all around, it feels more like church than it does fishing. Maybe you have experienced this yourself … if so, you know how cathartic a trip like this is for the soul!
If you are curious about the fly I am using, click here and you can watch me giving a fly-tying demo of the “reversed-tied bucktail”.
I hope you love the video and, as always, if you have any questions you can leave a comment for me below in the comment section and I will get back to you as soon as I can. God Bless and many bent fly rods to you!

The Highs and Lows of Fly Fishing
If you have watched any of my videos then you probably have seen the bible verse at the end slide of each video, Gal 6:9. There are a few versions but the one I stuck on as a kid is as follows: Let us not get tired in doing what is right, for after a […]
