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!
If you have any questions send those to me via email at flyfishingwithjeff@gmail.com or by leaving a comment in the section below ….

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 […]
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!
