Smallmouth Bass
For smallmouth bass enthusiasts, Mount Morris, NY, offers exceptional opportunities centered around the Genesee River. The Genesee carves a dramatic gorge through Letchworth State Park, creating a unique riverine habitat perfect for bronzebacks. Target rocky areas, riffles, and pools, especially those near submerged timber or boulders. The best time to fish for smallmouth here is late spring through fall, with the pre-spawn period in late May and early June offering some of the most aggressive strikes. As summer progresses, focus on deeper pools during the day and shallower riffles during dawn and dusk. A local tip: Access is readily available within Letchworth State Park, but be prepared for some hiking to reach the prime fishing spots. Also, be mindful of water levels, as the Genesee can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains. The smallmouth in this section of the Genesee are known for their hard fighting ability, often requiring a sturdy rod and reel setup.
