About Wading River
Running through New Jersey, United States, Wading River is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Wading River hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques
- For Channel catfish
Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
- For White perch
White perch often school, so if you catch one, stay in that area to find more. Vary your retrieve speed until you find what they prefer.
- For White bullhead
White bullheads are bottom feeders, so present your bait or lure close to the bottom structure, especially near submerged trees or rocks.
