Smallmouth Bass
The East Branch of the Delaware River near Fleischmanns isn't just for trout; it also holds a healthy population of smallmouth bass. While often overshadowed by the trout fishery, the smallmouth fishing can be surprisingly good, especially during the warmer months. Focus your efforts on the deeper pools and runs, particularly those with rocky bottoms and current breaks. Look for smallmouth along the rocky banks and near submerged structure. Summer and early fall are prime times, when the water temperatures are more to their liking. Crayfish imitations, tubes, and small swimbaits are all effective lure choices. Consider wading the river and targeting these fish with light spinning tackle or a fly rod. The East Branch is a beautiful river to explore, and the smallmouth provide a fun and challenging alternative to trout fishing. Remember to check local regulations regarding seasons and size limits.
