Hey folks …. Jeff here with yet another simple, but very fun video. On this Sunday night I grabbed a 3 wt, float tube and a few terrestrials and headed to a small lake just a couple of minutes from home.
If you haven’t yet tried a float tube, there is no time like right now. There are literally hundreds of small lakes that are calling your name. With a float tube you will be able to access lakes/ponds that others can’t get their boat or even canoes/kayaks to or into!
The ease with which you can fish is amazing as a float tube will fit in the back of any car and thus there is no need for a big vehicle … and with the price of gas, that is a great bonus! For sure, the serenity of the lake and the ease with which you can get and maneuver a float tube will amaze you.
For a fly fisherman, the float tube allows you to keep your hands free to cast in any direction. Sure, there is a bit of a learning curve to float tubing …. but after a few spots you will get the hang of the kick fins and your legs will take over … leaving you time to fly fishing with independence!

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 […]
Hey Jeff, Stevn here I have been Flying off and on in Southern California for a while. Have a float tube but don’t get out much. When I do I can’t waist time so I manage it as well as I can.
So, wet shoes on the float tube and wading with them. I have seen the video series that you did from bottom up and you don’t use felt or rubber sole boots on the tube with your fins on.
That’s my question, what type or brand of boot do you use with your fins on that you can still use to wade with on the shore line?
Also when fishing for small mouth and Big Mouth Bass, what is your leader and Tippet Setup??
I usually don’t go longer than the pole length I’m using but what’s your take on it? ??
I truly enjoy the videos and your advice, Thank You for the time!
