William, I am sitting just above the water....and at times in the water. The newer models are very stable and safe...yet, a great craft to fish from... Jeff
Hi Jeff, I have a couple questions about fly fishing for Smallmouth outside of Bennett Springs. 1st... do you have a general area you target on the river? 2nd... what flies would you recommend for this time of year? Heading down next week. Thank you!!!
For sure I like the niangua from the confluence of the spring all the way to Barclays. As for flies; check out my own trout candy fly on my site…tie in size 6 or even a 4. On the river an olive crayfish works well and lastly, try a black wooly with a sink tip 1 line.
nothing better then being out in my floatube with some of my freshly tied flies great video
Great video Jeff, thanks for sharing.
Ben,
Thanks for the kind comment; it is nice having a quality lake just a stones throw away....
Jeff
Hoping everything is going well for you Jeff.
Thanks for the time on these videos. Alot of work. Although satisfying!. Nice fish.
-Tight lines Jeff-
Brad,
You are welcome....it is some work, but hope that there are those out there that can get better results with some help...
Jeff
Another great video. Love that mono non slip. It makes a huge difference in your fly movement. Nice little lake to have some fun on. 👍👍👊
George,
the right knot surely makes a difference.....our lake is almost perfect and seldom too busy!
Jeff
No mans is a decent ice fishing lake as well👍
Going to be hard to get my fly line through the hole in the ice....?
Jeff
No no they crush topwater in the winter
That 3.5 lber was a beaut! Love your videos Jeff. Where in NW WI are you located?
I have the original u-boat I like it but I like yours are you sitting above the water
