Hey folks …. Jeff here and I am now full time here in NW Wisconsin, Burnett County to be exact. The past 5-6 months have been some of the busiest times of my life and if you have ever moved then you know how much ‘accumulation’ goes on when you have lived somewhere for 25 years and raised kids there as well.
We are settled on our property up here in Wisconsin and will be starting our build on our log cabin any day … in fact the logs from Maine are here with us … just need for the weather to cooperate and open up all the road bans so we can get the heavy equipment needed on site.
In today’s video I am fishing for wild brookies (brook trout) on a small stream just a few miles from our property … and what a bonus to find catchable numbers of fish so close by! You can see as you watch the video how beautiful the woods of Wisconsin actually are in early May.
I hope you enjoy both the fishing and my review of the past few months and most of what has transpired for us as a family. If you have any questions you can post those below in the comment section or by emailing me directly at flyfishingwithjeff@gmail.com. I will do my best to get back to you in a timely fashion.

Dog Days Of Summer and Big Smallmouth Bass

Low Water, Upstream Wind And A 20 Inch Smallmouth Bass
Greetings and welcome back to another fly fishing adventure. Today’s video will give some insight into how to handle low, clear water … in addition to an upstream wind that made navigating my float boat pretty tough. It took me about a half hour to find a pattern that worked and as you will see […]
