Hey folks, welcome back to another adventure and video on FlyFishingWithJeff.com. Today is an awesome adventure on one of the upper stretches of the amazing St Croix River. The weather is perfect and as usual, the scenery is hard to beat.
In today’s video I fly fish with my 7 weight streamer rod using a reversed tied baitfish pattern and have a lot of luck with the set up. I also have along my 7 weight topwater rig with floating line and a baitfish popper that I explain in some detail how to attract and hook up with these awesome smallmouth bass on the Upper St Croix.
I also share the rich history of the area dating back some 400 years to the time of the original tribes of Native Americans, the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes. What an incredible experience and to be traveling the same waters as many of the natives and their ancestors before them … along with the many fur traders and explorers that used the St Croix as a mode of transportation to get from the Atlantic Basin to the Gulf of Mexico.

I will do my best to get back to you quickly and with the best answer I can. Enjoy the video and remember to stop and take a look around while you are out there in God’s natural world!

Poppers, Peace and a Bunch Of Nice Smallmouth
Welcome to another fly fishing adventure as today I do about 4-5 miles of the upper St Croix river here in northwest Wisconsin on a beautiful 70 degree day. The barometric pressure was down a bit and the smallmouth bass were up and chasing from the get go. To say it was a peaceful day […]
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 […]
