The Heat is on Time For Smallies

As the water temps in the Esopus start to climb and the fish get stressed, it’s a great time to target small mouth bass in the slower and deeper waters below Phoenicia. Try some basic buggers in black or olive. Let the line sink and strip up from the bottom. Great action for these good fighting fish. Be sure sure to use some stout tippet as you’ll need it. Have fun.
