This video was shot on a Sunday afternoon when I needed to relax and relieve stress…there is no better way than from the seat of a float tube, fly rod in hand…and lots of hungry bluegills below. This is a very simple plan, tie on a size 6 yellow and black bitch creek nymph to a 2 weight fly rod…make casts….retrieve nice gills and stress will leave your body. If you aren’t a float tuber…then check the Creek Company’s ODC 420 out and get going…what are you waiting on?

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 […]
Fly Fishing With The Preacher
Welcome back to another fly fishing adventure with myself and in today’s video … my preacher and new friend, Nathaniel Melton. It is always a good thing to be able to help out a new fly person and in this case, Nathaniel is not only an avid fisherman and outdoorsman … but a good athlete, […]
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 […]
Nice work on the video and well explained sir. I will be taking out my youngest son on his first float tube trip very soon. We will target the gills when we are out, it will make for a fun afternoon of fishing I am sure of it.
Glad you liked it….no better way to start a young person than fly fishing from a float tube. Try a weighted bitch creek nymph or weighted spider pattern…maybe size 8 or so ( bigger the fly will take out those small pesky Gil’s) so…go even as big as a 6 or 4 to ensure you’re getting good takes from bigger fish! I like to match fly rod with fish and big bluegills on a 2 weight is a real blast….have some fun with it!
