Smallmouth Bass
While Delanson might be better known for its largemouth bass fishing, determined anglers can still find quality smallmouth bass opportunities within a reasonable drive. The Schoharie Creek, which flows nearby, holds a decent population of smallmouth, especially in its deeper pools and riffles. Focus your efforts on sections with rocky bottoms and current breaks. Late summer and early fall (August-October) are typically productive times, as water temperatures cool and the bass become more active. Access to the Schoharie Creek can be found at various bridge crossings and public access points, but be prepared for some wading as the banks can be steep. Smallmouth in this area tend to be wary, so use lighter line and natural-looking presentations. Crayfish imitations, small crankbaits, and tubes are all effective. Local anglers often have success with fly fishing using nymphs and streamers. Remember to check water levels before you go, as the creek can become turbid after heavy rain. Be aware of private property boundaries and respect landowners' rights.
