[QUOTE="KDM, post: 264007, member: 314"] Greetings. My advice from 40 or so years of fishing rivers is to first learn about current seams, eddies, backflow currents, upwellings, confused water, flat water, and other aspects of reading moving water to locate possible fish locations. Then take the time to learn how current will affect your presentation. To become a good moving water fisherman, one MUST learn to work WITH the current and not against it. The current will ALWAYS win. No amount of weight on the line can overcome the current. You will be hung up every time you try. Realize that the current moves trees, rocks, and tons of soil every day so your little 1/2 oz weight or less is nothing. The last piece of advice is to NOT get frustrated. Know you will lose tackle, get hung up, break off, fall in the river, and generally wreck some shit. However, you WILL catch fish and over time will start to automatically pick apart any section of water and know where your top spots to find fish will be. Find some "Muddin' Minute" videos on here. Hopefully, they will give you some of the basics for river fishing. Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
