About Alafia River
Running through Florida, United States, Alafia River is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Alafia River hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques
- For Hardhead sea catfish
Use a slow, steady retrieve when fishing soft plastics or spoons near the bottom, as hardhead catfish are bottom feeders.
- For Common snook
When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.
- For Red drum
When fishing structure, cast upcurrent and let your bait naturally drift down.
