Judith River

Judith River, in Montana, United States, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Judith River is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Brown trout

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

• For Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
