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 of pesky pike.
The weather was near perfect as it was in the upper 70’s for the trip and there was just enough water to keep my float boat moving along without having to drag thru the shallow areas. As you will see, anytime I hit water deeper than two feet with some shade, there was smallmouth action. I did go to a metal tippet after being wrecked by a big musky and as I have said the larger popper and metal tippet tend to keep the smaller smallmouth bass from being so aggressive but it certainly doesn’t repel the larger fish.
I hope you enjoy this four hour adventure and can take in the scenery along the way. If you have any questions or comments you can leave those below or email me at flyfishingwithjeff@gmail.com and I will do my best to get back to you with a response.
