About Black River
Black River cuts through Michigan, United States and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Black River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

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 Coho salmon
When fishing for Coho in rivers, focus on areas with current breaks, such as behind rocks or logs, as they often hold in these spots. Vary your retrieve speed to find what the fish are responding to.
- For Freshwater drum
Freshwater drum often feed near the bottom, so present your bait or lure accordingly, and be patient as they are not known for aggressive strikes.
