About Eagle River
Eagle River is a river flowing through Alaska, United States. 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 Eagle 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 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 Dolly varden
Dolly Varden often hold near structure like fallen logs or undercut banks, so target these areas; vary your retrieve speed until you find what they are hitting.
- For Arctic grayling
Arctic grayling often feed in riffles and runs, so focus your efforts in these areas and use a drag-free drift when fly fishing.
