Fly Fishing Adventures
Jeff’s summaries of his fly fishing exploits.
Video – Catching A Smallmouth Bass
This video is of me landing a 16 inch smallie in a small southern Indiana creek. It was shot by my son, Harrison, who was along and also catching some good fish. This particular smallmouth was hooked on an Irish Jig; a fly that I tie in lime green and dark green just like the […]
