Welcome back to another video adventure. Today’s video comes from one of my favorite little lakes located about a mile from our cabin and just full of hungry bass and bluegill. Winter is now behind us and spring has crept slowly into the Wisconsin north woods , so it’s a great time to do some float tubing and fly fishing.
I grabbed my float tube and 4 wt fly rod and made my way about a mile south to one of my favorite small lakes … just perfect for a float tube, I caught several nice, chunky bass along with some bluegill, oh, and was bombed by a Greater Yellowleg while on the lake as she was apparently nesting and didn’t want me fishing or anywhere near her on the water!
My turkey season, also, started this week and what an amazing set of hunts; in four days I was able to call in 6 mature Tom turkeys to shotgun range. I harvested my bird in mid afternoon after his hens had left him for the day.
And my good friend Duane and I followed that up the next morning with the single best turkey hunt I have had in my 40 plus years of hunting America’s bird. In the first 90 minutes we called to and ‘danced’ with 7-9 mature gobblers and it all ended when 3 full bearded Tom turkeys came running down a logging road over 1/4 of a mile, gobbling and strutting the entire way.
What a great week and how much fun to have nature in your backyard! Remember you can leave me a comment below or ask a question by emailing me at flyfishingwithjeff@gmail.com and I will do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.

Four Species of Big Fish On The Fly
Let me start off by telling you that within this video is the best 30 minute section of fly fishing that I have ever experienced in my 45 plus year career. On that note I will apologize for the video going so long but it was difficult and almost impossible for me to cut too […]
