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 ….

Float Tube vs Float Boat
Hey folks …. welcome back to another video. Today, I am off the water and trying to do my best to answer the questions regarding float tubes (still water) and float boats (moving water). Over the years I have received many questions that ask this about this simple premise …. what is your recommendation for […]
Smallmouth on the Fly on the St Croix River
Some days are just better than others and on this mid July day, fly fishing on the St Croix River, here in Northwest Wisconsin … it all came together in a both beautiful and powerful way. The water was at a near perfect level allowing me enough cover to make cast into various pools and […]
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!
