About Sumas River
As a river in British Columbia, Canada, Sumas 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 Sumas 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 Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Common carp
Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
- 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.
