Suggestions for Mid-Oct. Fishing in New Paltz Area

[logs22]

My wife and I rented a place up in New Paltz for a weekend in October and I wanted to see if any of you have fished that area and had some suggestions/advice on spots worth checking out. The house is on the South end of town, walking distance from the Wallkill river, so I will definitely be targeting smallies in the river but any other suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks!
