RIVER FISHING

More Knowledge. More Fish.

You already know about the freshwater gear to use and where to find the fish, now you just need to know which techniques and baits will work best when river fishing. There are a few simple techniques you can use to start with. Once you get more experience with fishing in rivers and streams, you can always learn new techniques.

Bottom Bouncing

You can use a Carolina Rig to bottom bounce a live bait (such as a crawfish or minnow) or soft plastic bait along with the current. This is can be a particularly good technique to use from smallmouth bass around ledges or drop-offs near deeper channels or cuts.

Upstream Casting

Cast upstream using in-line spinners for brown trout or rainbow trout. Remember that natural food sources will be drifting downstream, so this creates a natural presentation. You’re your spinner upstream, and then reel downstream.

River Jigging

Try fishing with jigs near the mouth of a river, in areas of slower current, and near shorelines for walleye. 1/4 to 1/8-ounce jigs will work well in most situations. You can use up to 1 ounce in areas of stronger current.
