About Red River
Flowing through Kentucky, United States, Red River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Red River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Red River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For Striped shiner
Use light tackle and small hooks, as Striped shiners have small mouths; target areas near rocks or submerged vegetation.
- For Rock bass
Rock bass often hold near structure; target rocky areas, docks, and submerged timber by casting close to these locations and varying your retrieve.
