[quote Warchild]That depends on what your fishing for.
The first thing I do when I get to river I am going to be fishing for the first time is. I start by just relaxing by the shore and watch to see if the fish are actively feeding on the top or if they are just slurping from the sub surface or there rolling on the bottom.
Then I get in and I start rolling rocks here and there.
To see if theres Sculpin, Crayfish, Rock Rollers. and misc. insects that they would usually be feeding on.
If there are sculpins or crayfish in the river system your fishing in. Try and match your tube color the best you can to them.
Looking on the surface of the water and under the rocks will show you what there feeding on usually. Be it smallies or walleyes or trout.
Just remember learn to see what the fish are feeding on. learn to read the river and learn were the fish will be at in the river.
Theres a lot to learn about reading a river and were the fish are going to be at but actually its really simple.[/quote]
Thank you for another helpful post Warchild! I plan on going fishing at some point this weekend so hopefully I get a chance to get my feet wet. I'll be sure to see what they're feeding on, but as far as reading the river goes it'll be a while before I'm that good! Lol. There are a couple of spots that I am going to try this weekend probably, two that I know my friends have gotten fish from. Thank you again.
