About Black River
As a river in New York, United States, Black River fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Black River pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques
- For Chain pickerel
Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs due to pickerel's sharp teeth, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what they're hitting.
- 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 Smallmouth bass
Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.
