Magaguadavic River

Magaguadavic River is a river flowing through New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada. 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 Magaguadavic 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.
