About Sun River
Sun River, in Montana, United States, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Sun River is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
- 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.
