Smallmouth Bass
For smallmouth bass enthusiasts, Warsaw, New York, offers some under-the-radar opportunities. While not as widely known as some other smallmouth hotspots in the state, the Genesee River, which flows nearby, holds a respectable population of smallies. Focus your efforts on sections with rocky bottoms, riffles, and deeper pools. Late spring through early fall is prime time, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods being particularly productive. Tube baits, crankbaits, and topwater lures are all effective. Public access to the Genesee River is available at several points along its course, though some require hiking. Local tip: The river can be wadable in many areas, but be cautious of slippery rocks and changing water levels. Check local river gauges before your trip. Also, consider using polarized sunglasses to spot fish and structure in the clear water.
