Smallmouth Bass
Unionville, NY, offers some surprisingly good smallmouth bass fishing, primarily in the Delaware River. This section of the river is known for its rocky structure, riffles, and pools – ideal habitat for bronzebacks. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the most productive. Look for smallmouth near submerged rocks, current breaks, and along the edges of weed beds. A local tip is to wade fish the shallower sections of the river using nymphs or small crankbaits that imitate crayfish. Another good tactic is to drift live hellgrammites. Be aware of changing water levels, especially after rainfall. Public access points can be found along Route 97, offering wade-fishing opportunities. The smallmouth in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and hard fighting ability, offering a thrilling experience for anglers of all skill levels.
