Are you ready for some summer smallies? Read “Hot Bronze” in the August 2017 issue of Field & Stream.

“Hot Bronze” is a primer on summer smallmouth on the fly. It’s my second piece for Field & Stream, and you can read it in the August 2017 issue, on newsstands right now.

Steve – looking forward to reading it.

Where abouts on the Housy do you target smallies?

Hi Manny,

I don’t share location specifics, but I will share this: I spent most of last summer within the TMA. A lot of people feel the stretches below the Rt 7/4 concrete bridge are most excellent. Go explore and have fun. 🙂

  That’s all I wanted to hear Steve — some folks were telling to avoid the TMA & go farther south (New Milford area) but I went there last year & only found 4″ smallies.
  
  It was also nice seeing you fly tying at Compleat Angler’s this spring. All the best!
