While not directly in Quakertown, the Delaware is a short drive away and offers excellent smallie habitat. Focus on rocky areas, ledges, and current breaks. Late spring through early fall is the prime time, as the water warms and the smallmouth become more active. Wading is a popular option, but a boat or kayak allows you to cover more water. Crayfish imitations, tubes, and topwater lures are all effective. Public access points are available along the river, but be aware of swift currents and changing water levels. The Delaware River smallmouth are known for their fighting ability, so be prepared for a good battle. Check the river conditions before you go as it can get muddy after heavy rains.
