About Oldman River
Oldman River cuts through Alberta, Canada 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 Oldman River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Walleye
Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.
- For Lake sturgeon
Fish near the bottom in deep holes or channels with strong current, and use a heavy weight to keep your bait down.
