About Medicine River
As a river in Alberta, Canada, Medicine 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 Medicine 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 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 whitefish
Target deeper areas near drop-offs or structure where whitefish congregate, and use a fish finder to locate schools of fish.
