About Sturgeon River
Sturgeon River, in Ontario, Canada, is a stream where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Sturgeon 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 Chinook salmon
Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to, as their preferences can change daily.
- For Brook trout
Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
