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?

Fly Fishing For Smallmouth Bass On The River
Greetings from Fly Fishing with Jeff; once again I have found my way back out on another of the three local rivers that are all within 4 miles of our cabin here in NW Wisconsin. In today’s video, I land several big smallmouth bass on the river, lose one angry musky and catch a couple […]
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 […]
A Great Way To Spend Memorial Day
Greetings from Fly Fishing with Jeff with another adventure here in NW Wisconsin as we float 4 miles of one of the most beautiful rivers in America, the St Croix … located just a few miles down the road from our cabin. It was Memorial Day and the start of summer; temps in the 80’s […]
NW Wisconsin’s Big Smallmouth On The Fly
Welcome back folks to another video on Fly Fishing with Jeff as me and my buddy Duane drift about 4 miles of a beautiful river here in NW Wisconsin. My goal on the day was to catch any and everything I could on the fly … as it turns out, it was indeed a great […]
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!
