Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing around Attleboro, MA, offers a chance to tangle with some hard-fighting bronzebacks in a classic New England setting. While not known as a smallmouth mecca, the Ten Mile River and its associated tributaries offer pockets of good smallmouth habitat. Focus on areas with rocky bottoms, current breaks, and submerged structure. Early morning and late evening are typically the most productive times, especially during the warmer months. Spring and fall are also great times to target smallmouth as they are actively feeding. A key to success is to use lures that imitate crayfish or small baitfish, as these are the primary forage for smallmouth in this area. A local tip is to access the Ten Mile River near Dodgeville. There are several access points along the river that offer good wading opportunities. Pay attention to water levels, as high or low water can impact fishing conditions. The smallmouth here tend to be on the smaller side (1-3 pounds), but they make up for it with their aggressive strikes and spirited fights.
