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 the first fish to eat was a true trophy, a 20 inch, tiger-striped smallmouth bass that came out of a very small pool to chase down my reversed tied bucktail fly. If you aren’t familiar with this particular fly then you should, as I have used it primarily for many years … the fly has so much life and fluid movement in it that the fish just can’t leave it alone.
The scenery on this trip was outstanding as we saw ducks, geese, eagles and one medium sized black bear …. along with a few miles of pristine water that is basically untouched and the same as it was a hundred years ago.
As always, if you have any comments or questions you can leave those below or you can reach me via email at flyfishingwithjeff@gmail.com and I will do my best to get back to you with a good reply.

Streamers In June for Big Bronzebacks
