About Current River

Current River is a stream flowing through Ontario, 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 Current 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 Brook trout

    Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.

  • For Smallmouth bass

    Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

  • For Pink salmon

    Pink salmon often school tightly; if you catch one, keep fishing the same area as more are likely present. Use a twitching retrieve with spoons or spinners.
