River fishing tips and freshwater fishing

In this article I’m going to provide you with some extremely effective river fishing tips to make you a more effective angler. If you’ve ever wanted to know how to fish a river this article is a great place to start. More than twenty years ago I was taught how to fish a river from someone I’ve always considered to be a river fishing master. Before he passed on, this man was able to hook and land trophy fish out of heavily fished small rivers in central Pennsylvania with a great degree of regularity.

These tips come directly from some of the tips and techniques that this man used to employ. I’ve been using them to may advantage for a couple of decades, and now you’ll be able to do the same. As you will see, these tips aren’t complicated; in fact they are quite simple. This is because simplicity in fishing is what my mentor believed in.

If you want to know how to fish a river these river fishing tips should be added to your fishing arsenal sooner, rather than later.

I’ve fished in lakes, creeks, rivers, reservoirs, the atlantic and the pacific and the Gulf Of Mexico. Since as long as I can remember I made every opening fishing day in Minnesota for about 40 years until I finally missed one. Heh, South Dakota doesn’t have a fishing opener and I haven’t fished Minnesota since 1998. I even got fired from a job once because I was scheduled for overtime and it was also opening day of fishing. You know I went fishing.

I’ve met quite a few of the pro’s due to fishing Lake Mille Lacs in central Minnesota quite a bit. Ted Capra had a sporting goods place a few blocks from my house and I met him and his kids and shopped there frequently. Thorne brothers built me a couple of custom rods. I remember when In-Fisherman started and it was possible to call their headquarters and talk to almost anyone who worked for the magazine including Ron and Al Lindner. All that means when I tell you something about freshwater fishing I know what I’m talking about because I’ve done it all of my life.
