Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Cambridge, NY, centers on the Hoosic River. While not as famous as some other bass fisheries in the state, the Hoosic offers a solid smallmouth population in a scenic setting. The best time to target them is late spring through early fall, as the water warms up. Look for rocky areas, riffles, and deeper pools. Wading is possible in many sections, but be cautious of slippery rocks and changing water levels. A canoe or kayak can significantly expand your range and access to productive spots. Smallmouth in the Hoosic River are known for their fight, often putting up a good aerial display. Anglers often report success using crankbaits, tubes, and topwater lures in the early morning or late evening. Public access can be limited in some areas, so scout out access points beforehand and respect private property.
