Shea River

Shea River is a river flowing through Saskatchewan, 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 Shea 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 Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Walleye

  Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.

• For Yellow perch

  When perch are finicky, downsize your bait or lure and use lighter line to increase your chances of getting a bite. Focus on areas near weed beds or drop-offs as they often hold schools of perch.
