About Bear River
As a river in Nova Scotia, Canada, Bear River fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Bear River pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques
- For Brook trout
Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
- For Striped bass
Match the hatch! Pay attention to what the stripers are feeding on and select lures or baits that mimic the size and color of the local forage.
- For Yellow perch
When perch are finicky, downsize your bait or lure and use lighter line to increase your chances of getting a bite. Focus on areas near weed beds or drop-offs as they often hold schools of perch.
