Finley Fly Feature: Bronze River Fly Co.

First up in our Finley Fly Feature is Bronze River Fly Co. These are some top-notch flies created in southeastern Michigan. They tie purpose-built flies that target the biggest smallmouth in the river. One look through their Instagram profile (@bronzeriverflyco) shows an array of carefully tied Game Changers, Circus Peanuts, Swingin’ Ds, you name it! Each feather and leg is placed perfectly and with intent. Sometimes folks who tie bigger streamers seem to place materials haphazardly or overcrowd the fly, but there's none of that here. There’s no questioning that they have mastered their craft of chasing big smallies in Michigan!

Their YouTube channel is absolutely worth the subscription if you’re interested in tying some of these flies for yourself but need to see it done first. Here’s a link to the Leggy Boi Changer, one I’m absolutely going to be tying up for my personal box to chase some smallies in the Ozarks!
