About New River
New River is a river flowing through Florida, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At New River, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques
- For Mangrove snapper
Use a fluorocarbon leader to minimize visibility in clear water, and fish around structure like docks and mangroves, where mangrove snapper ambush their prey.
- For Black bullhead
Fish near the bottom in areas with structure like weeds or submerged logs, as black bullheads are bottom feeders that prefer cover.
- For Northern red snapper
When fishing for Northern red snapper, use heavy tackle and braided line to handle their strong runs and the structure they inhabit; also consider chumming to attract them to your area.
