Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Dolgeville, NY, centers around the Mohawk River. This section of the river offers rocky structure, riffles, and deeper pools that hold good numbers of smallmouth. Summer and early fall are ideal times to target these hard-fighting fish. As the water warms, smallmouth become more active and aggressive. Look for them near rocky points, submerged logs, and current breaks. Tube baits, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. A practical tip: focus your efforts during periods of low light, such as early morning or late evening, when smallmouth are more likely to be actively feeding. Access to the river is available at several points along Route 5S, but be mindful of private property.
