Smallmouth Bass
While Marlborough, MA, isn't primarily known for its smallmouth bass fishing, you can still find them in a few select locations. The Assabet River, which flows through the area, holds a modest population of smallmouth bass, particularly in the deeper pools and runs. Focus your efforts near rocky areas and current breaks. Early morning and late evening are often the best times to target them, especially during the warmer months. Spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler, can also be productive. Small crankbaits, tubes, and jigs are effective lures for smallmouth in this type of environment. Wading the river is a common approach, but be mindful of water levels and slippery rocks. Remember to check the local fishing regulations regarding size and bag limits for smallmouth bass. These fish are generally smaller here, but their fighting spirit makes them a rewarding catch.
