Jeff C., Fly Fishing With Jeff
My name is Jeff and I’m from Spencer, Indiana. I’m a teacher by trade and an outdoorsman since birth.
I created my website, Fly Fishing With Jeff for the purpose of helping and providing information to both float tube and fly fishing enthusiasts. We will be discussing the issues involved with fly-fishing from float tubes and pontoons. We’ll provide tips to help you put more fish in the boat, which flies will work in certain situations for various fish species, as well as instruction on how to tie some of the most used and successful flies. We will also discuss rods, reels, fly lines, leaders, tippets and other facets involved with fly-fishing for your favorite catch. If you love to fly-fish from a floatable, then jump in and get ready for some success and lots of bent rods.

Fletcher the Fisherman, YouTube
Ever since I can remember, I have had a rod in my hand. My earliest memories are full of fishing adventures with my dad. Whether we were catching tiny creek fish in the back of our neighborhood or fighting ocean giants in my dad's boat, I could never get enough of it. I've had many hobbies and played a number of sports growing up, but fishing has always been the one constant in my life. It's something that has brought me some of my happiest moments and biggest heartbreaks. The mystery of never knowing what you might catch on any given day is the beauty of fishing. It's what keeps anglers coming back time and time again. Any day, any moment, or any cast could be a memory that you never forget. The idea of this has led me on a life time journey to where I am today. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I have obsessed over every subtle nuance in regards to fishing. Trying to put every little piece together like a never ending puzzle in hopes of increasing my chances of catching my next prized fish. Over the years, this obsession filled my mind with a vast array of fishing knowledge and know-how. As someone who loves to help and teach others, I wanted to spread my knowledge and love for fishing. So that's what I did. I started by introducing friends and family to fishing at first. As time went on I would jump at any opportunity to share my knowledge and love for fishing. Whether it was a fellow fisherman fishing the same pond as me or a curious bystander just walking by I was always trying to strike up a conversation. My passion for wanting to spread the joy of fishing, ultimately led to me starting my own fishing YouTube channel and that's when Fletcher the Fisherman was born.
