stream fishing

River rod sport

Stream fishing is angling in flowing freshwater—rivers, creeks, and brooks rather than lakes or ponds.

The current creates different challenges and techniques than still-water fishing: reading the water for pools where fish rest, casting upstream, using flies or lures that mimic natural prey.

We spent the morning stream fishing for trout in the mountains.
